There are many different types of birdhouses. You can get many birdhouses at the local
shops or make them yourself with easily obtained materials.
However, the factor that will decide on which birdhouse you buy or build is the type of bird
that you want to attract.
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.
Common Birdhouses
You can find the following birdhouses suit the typical nesting habits of different species of
birds.
Single-unit nesting boxes are the most common type of birdhouse. Woodpeckers And great
crested flycatchers are common birds that prefer such nesting places. Red-bellied
woodpeckers require an entrance hole of more than two inches in diameter to accommodate
their size. Woodpeckers do not normally add any nesting materials to a box. Therefore, place
a few inches of wood chips to provide a cushion for the eggs. The great crested flycatcher,
however, will bring its own nesting material into the box.
Purple Martin houses are available in many different styles And sizes. Purple martins love
nesting in colonies And mostly prefer such birdhouses to nesting in the wild. They also nest
in artificial, or real, gourds where an entrance hole has been cut in them. You can put up
plastic gourds, which are easier to clean than real ones, to attract purple martins. These
houses also offer a cool interior for the birds.
Bluebirds And tree-swallows prefer birdhouses on poles in an open area. Bluebirds bring in
pine needles or fine grasses for their nests. Tree swallows live in similar habitat with
entrance holes of around one And half inch in diameter. This size prevents starlings from
entering.
Place birdhouses along the edge of wooded areas to attract small birds like the tufted
titmouse And black-capped chickadee.
Place your birdhouses under the roof eaves And on a deck to attract house wrens. They
build nests in birdhouses that are placed within your house too.
Birdhouses for Different Species
Every bird species prefers a different type of birdhouse for nesting And breeding. You can
attract specific species of birds by offering the type of environment And birdhouse that they
prefer.
While attracting any specific species, you have to safeguard your birdhouses from being
taken over by starlings And sparrows. A simple tactic is to place birdhouses within ten feet of
the ground, as sparrows And starlings do not inhabit such houses.
Different categories of birds like Chickadees, Bluebirds, Titmice, Purple Martin, Swallows,
Owls, Woodpeckers, Flycatchers, And many others love nesting in birdhouses. Additionally,
you can provide them with food And water as major incentives. Hanging a wire cage with
nesting materials like twigs, fiber scraps, wool, And feathers, can also attract these birds to
your birdhouses.
Particular features in your birdhouses can attract particular species of birds. Some birds’
preferences include:
Robins
The common robin prefers the crotch of a tree. Place a nesting platform at a height of at least
six feet under the shade of a porch or a tree trunk. A small mud puddle is a definite incentive
as robins use mud to line their nests.
Chickadees, Nuthatches, And Titmice
These species share the same food habits And habitat. Chickadee houses should, ideally, be
at eye level with an entrance of about one inch in diameter. Hang the houses from tree
trunks. Sometimes, these birds stay in the courtyard all through the summer months if they
are able to get sufficient peanuts.
Bluebirds.
Bluebirds prefer birdhouses on wooden fence posts or tree stumps at about three to five
feet off the ground. These birds require an entrance hole with a diameter of an inch And a
half. This can keep away starlings And house sparrows, which prey on all baby bluebirds And,
sometimes, also on the adults. A metal predator guard can help keep away other predators
like snakes And cats.
Wrens
Male wrens make many houses for their females to choose the most suitable one. So, you
attract wrens by hanging many birdhouses on partly or dimly-lit tree branches. These
birdhouses should have a horizontal slot of a minimum of one by two inches instead of a
circular hole. This allows easy movement for the wrens. These birds prefer to stay close to
your home. See Milk Carton Plans.
Barn Swallows And Phoebes
These birds prefer nesting in uncommon places such as above your front door or on the
eaves of rooftops. Place your birdhouses in such places to attract these birds.
Tree And Violet-green Swallows
These swallows prefer birdhouses on dead trees. These birds are insect eaters, so it is best
to place their birdhouses near a pond, river, or lake. Violet green swallows abound in
forested And semi-woodland regions.
Purple Martins
These birds prefer to nest in colonies. Their birdhouses need to have around four big rooms
of about six inches on all sides. The entrance hole should be around two inches in diameter
And about an inch And half from the floor of the house. Purple martins require around forty
feet of open flying space around their houses. These birds need to be able to perch safely on
railings And even on the wire used for hanging their houses.
Birdhouses for Purple martins should have adequate ventilation And drainage. Gourds with
entrance holes cut into them can serve as birdhouses for these birds. Their houses should be
at a height of ten to twenty feet above the ground.
Woodpeckers
Red-bellied woodpeckers And flickers prefer birdhouses with rough interiors And with around
two inches of sawdust or wood chips on the floor. Put their houses on tree trunks And
exposed to direct sunlight.
Flycatchers
These birds prefer abandoned woodpecker holes. Put their birdhouses about ten feet from
the ground on trees in orchards or near the edges of streams And fields.
