Bird Houses and Nesting Boxes

Bird houses are beautiful and useful additions to your garden! However, it's easy to make mistakes with a bird house.

Put A Bird House to Use

A wild bird won't just nest in any old box you put out. They have very specific tastes in bird house size, placement from the ground, and positioning of the entrance hole.

Many birdhouses currently on the market won't ever see a nest of hatchlings. Why won't they house a bird family? They haven't been built to specifications or even if they have, they aren't placed on the property in an appropriate location!

I've heard from people all over the United States and Canada that have bought a bluebird house only to end up helping House Sparrows and Starlings to populate.

This section of AttractWildBirds.com will assist with finding the right bird houses for the type of wild bird you want to attract. Below you'll find a list of specific requirements for a variety of birds. It is a starting point to ensuring you get the right house for the bird you want to accommodate. Actual size of the finished house also must be considered. (see Purple Martin bird houses as an example.)
