Monitoring And Cleaning Birdhouses
Monitoring before the start of the season
Clean your birdhouses before putting them out ready to be occupied. Regular monitoring of
the birdhouses ensures nesting only by the specific species of birds that you want And helps
to keep them safe. Put a layer of three to four inches of sawdust in the bottom of the
birdhouses.
Seasonal Monitoring
The best time for monitoring the birdhouse is early in the morning when the mother is often
away feeding with her partner. Otherwise, you can knock gently on the birdhouse to allow
time for the mother to fly away.
However, do not force yourself to monitor it too often or disturb the birds as it could then
lead to nest abandonment by the birds.
This monitoring helps you to gather information about the number of eggs And invasion of
any parasites like ants or insects. You can then take steps to curb the parasitism. Bluebirds
require weekly monitoring. These birds have a very weak sense of smell And therefore, do
not abandon their young because of any human smells.
Once the female lays eggs And incubation starts, it is best to stay away from the birdhouse.
Nevertheless, keep monitoring the movements of the birds from a distance to reduce any
problems with predators.
Monitoring after the Fledglings fly-off
This post-season monitoring helps you to understand the level of success with that year’s
breeding. You can look for the two main parts of the hatched eggs; cap And membrane. The
number of membranes indicates the number of young ones. You might come across a dead
fledgling or an unhatched egg. It’s sad, but an egg that was not hatched is generally too old
to eat And much too old to try to hatch on your own.
Once the bird family flies off from the birdhouse, you have to clean the birdhouse to prevent
parasites And other insects from taking over. Sometimes mice get in And make the birdhouse
unusable for the future.
Throw away the old nest And put in clean wood shavings in place of the old ones. You can
then leave the birdhouse through the winter months, as screech owls could use it for their
roost.
The birds do not usually use the wood shavings to build their nest. It is just a sign that the
area is clean. They will use your house to build their nest with what they bring in to it.
If you intend to keep other animals from nesting in your birdhouse during the winter months,
it is best to dismantle the birdhouse And clean it with a mild chlorine solution. This kills all
germs And bacteria. You can dry the birdhouse And tuck it away for use in the next breeding
season.
Use rubber gloves And face protection masks for cleaning old nests to protect yourself from
dust And other organisms like viruses.

How to build a bird house
If you are someone who loves wild birds how would you like to attract different species to
your own back yard? Just like the movie classic, if you build the right house they will come.
It's true. If you create the right environment for a particular bird it's as if you sent out
engraved invitations to the right birds. And as any guest, they will welcome your hospitality.
Our environment continues to become degraded with natural habitats for wildlife declining at
an alarming rate. Beginning a hobby that leads to helping our feathered friends to flourish is
not only personally rewarding but is also environmentally sound.
What you need to know!
First you must know what birds you would like to attract. That entails a bit of research.
Fortunately, everything you need to know to develop this hobby is available in "How to Build
Your Birdhouse."
Did you know that every species of bird has special preferences about the type of nest or
birdhouse that it will use? Tree swallows, wrens, And bluebirds prefer single unit, enclosed
birdhouses.
Bluebirds And tree swallows prefer open areas with fewer shrubs And trees while wrens
prefer nesting in boxes close to shrubs. Phoebes And robins like a sheltered platform, rather
than closed nest boxes.
Anyone can do it!
