DIY Bird House

Birdhouses are often as much for the person providing the birdhouse as it is for the birds. Humans often choose the whimsical birdhouse. The cuter the better. There is nothing wrong with a decorative birdhouse that enhances your garden or yard but the birds aren't visiting your birdhouse for the décor. After all, the reason to provide a birdhouse is to provide shelter for birds often where habitat loss has driven them away from former nesting spaces. If we asked the birds what they wanted in a birdhouse what would they say?

Location is crucial as well. If the birdhouse is too low snakes can get inside and pay a visit to our feathery friends. Also, mounting your birdhouses on poles is a great way to protect against unfriendly guests. Many predators find poles difficult to climb.
Although gardens, yards, golf course and cultivated fields are typically good places to place birdhouses be mindful of pesticides and herbicides that are being used. These can be harmful to birds and eliminate insects which is the primary food source for many birds.
Secure your birdhouse. We mentioned a pole is a great way to mount your birdhouse also be sure your birdhouse is secure. You need to guard against heavy winds and severe weather.
Don't forget about drainage. Drain holes in the bottom will allow water to get out and help prevent mold and bacteria. Also, an inch or so roof overhang will help prevent rain from getting in the entrance hole. In addition to drainage a clean out hole in the back of the birdhouse is a nice feature to allow for simple access to cleaning.
Birds like water. Open water is essential for birds. To assist them in their efforts to find water, place a birdbath near the birdhouse. Not only is this great for the birds but imagine how much fun it will be to watch your new residents fly from their home to their bath.
So, now that we know what our feathery friends would like it's also okay to have a little of what us humans would like as well. There is nothing wrong with having a whimsical, decorative and fun birdhouse. Many of these types of birdhouses provide for all of the birds needs.
