Bird houses bring year-round joy to back yards, gardens and a host of other settings. They provide a home for nesting in the spring and summer as well as protection from weather in winter. Houses also offer a roosting spot for overnighters. Birds that seek out tree cavities will certainly appreciate having one of these in which to set up housekeeping. You'll also be performing a great service in urban settings where shelter may be limited and competition for existing space is fierce.
The types of birds that will appear depend on where you live and what style of housing you provide. The Bird House Station offers many designs that will surely prove irresistible, even to the pickiest species. Birds that typically seek out shelter include finches, flycatchers, nuthatches, bluebirds and chickadees. Wrens are also bountiful when it comes to relocating to fancier digs.
We offer many cheerful designs that also provide a decorative touch for the landscape. Bird lovers will also be tempted to place them indoors for display. They're suited for habitation, though, and include such amenities as lift tops for easy maintenance and drainage holes to keep the insides dry. These will also make excellent gifts for all the nature enthusiasts and gardeners on your list.
Some birds will appreciate houses with a smaller diameter entry. Generally, it should be just large enough to keep marauding birds such as starlings and house sparrows from making surprise visits. Make your flock feel even safer by locating the house out of the way of other predators such as cats, squirrels and snakes. Pole mounts often work best, but they can also be attached to the sides of homes or other protected spots. Mount with the entry facing away from winter winds and hot summer breezes for added enticement.
Our open models are an ideal place for providing nesting materials. Birds can easily fly by and collect a bit of yarn, fuzz, straw and twigs. The efforts will be fun to watch as they go back and forth, increasing their stash.
Purchasing multiple houses also increases the opportunities for enjoyment. Don't be surprised if the birds go shopping for that special spot. Male wrens are notorious for setting up several prospective nesting spots and then letting their mates make the final selection.
Some species are territorial, too. They may chase away those of their own kind, but graciously allow other birds to become neighbors. Experiment with placement and, in time, you'll recognize favorites and perhaps watch a few fledglings as they grow and eventually go in search of a new home. Remember, too, that some birds produce offspring twice a year, so they'll love having a fresh, clean space for the new brood.
Once you've introduced a bird house into your back yard, there will be no end to the delights in store for your family and friends - and the birds will love it, too!
