Birdfeeders

A basic wooden birdhouse will offer the essentials for just about any type of nesting bird. This includes birds from the beautiful bluebird to the large owl. The important thing is to be sure the birdhouses you put up are the right size for the species of birds you want to nest in them. For example, chickadees prefer a small birdhouse, bluebirds need a medium size birdhouse and barn owls need a jumbo version. It is extremely important that the entrance hole is the correct diameter for the birds of your choice. The best way to insure that the birdhouse you choose is correct is to buy one specifically designed for the species you hope to draw into your yard.
