Choosing an ideal Bird House
 
 

Among those who buy bird houses, one is the type which buys in order to give a classy look to their house. Another type of people buys them so that birds can actually come there and nest. Depending upon the type of person you are, there will be different options to rule out in order to get the bird house that fits your bill.

In regards to designs of these bird houses, you can visit any garden products shop or you can visit retailers over the internet. Generally, you’ll find a vast collection of bird houses with various designs. If you are just looking to add show to your house, then chose one which suits your house and your pocket. In case you are interested in attracting birds, then it is a little more complicated.

First and foremost, you must consider if the bird house is aptly designed so that a bird can enter into it with ease and feel safe as well. Also, if it is painted, it should be with water based colors or else the paint fumes may irritate the birds. Also, any pests may reduce your visitors.

Once this is decided, pick a place to hang your bird house. A word of caution, if you hang the house very close to your sitting area, you are going to discourage most of the birds from coming close to the bird house. For that you need to do a little research as to which kind of bird prefers what kind of habitat. In case of owls and woodpeckers, an area which resembles a forest is preferred. Same goes for Chickadees, Titmice, Flycatchers etc. On the other hand, Swallows prefer more open areas. Ducks and Purple Martins would find it more comfortable if the bird house was facing a water body.

Such things and few others such as the territorial nature of some birds and their feeding habits are to be kept in mind in case you want your bird house to be a huge success.
