How to Choose The Right Type of Birdhouse for Your Garden
They flutter around and wake us up in the morning with their chirpy song. Some are small and cute while others are huge and predatorial. You may want to attract them to your house or garden and it is best to build or buy a birdhouse for them. But just like there are many types and sizes of birds, there are also as many types of houses for them.
Choosing a bird house for the type of bird you would like to attract to your garden should not be difficult.
First of all, be sure of the type of bird you want to attract – wren, canary, swallow or any other bird. It may be tempting to buy that cute looking one with multiple openings but don’t do it. Also note that one size does not fit all. Note that different birds have different size requirements.
Next, choose the correct material for your birdhouse. Wood is best for wild birds as they tend to nest in fence posts and old trees. It is advisable to use a naturally decay resistant material such as cedar or a good grade of exterior plywood.
The wood should not be any less than ¾ inches thick as anything less will allow heat to build up. Forget using paint as a natural looking house will attract the birds better. Just like a real house, don’t forget to provide a good drainage and ventilation system as well.
Don’t bother with adding a perch for your birdhouse as the birds don’t need it and it might attract predators.
Other things to think about is an easy exit for your birds’ young shall they nest and hatch. You must also have a cleaning access so you can clean the birdhouse for your feathered friends. You can either have a removable roof or hinge the front panel for this purpose.
If you would like to entice the birds to your birdhouse, consider having a birdbath next to it. Not only will they appreciate the water to drink, but they will love splashing around on a hot summer’s day.
Birdbaths can also add a touch of style to your garden, accentuating your garden’s theme as a centrepiece. There are many types of stylish birdbaths that you can choose from, ranging from cobblestones to glass and coloured ceramics. You could even get a heated birdbath to give your feathered friends a warm bath on them cold wintery days!
