Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What kind of birds would want to nest in this bird feeder? With its 1½" round entrance holes, this birdhouse is perfectly sized for smaller, cavity-nesting birds that prefer a cozy, secure space. Common species that would love to call this house home include:

• Chickadees (Black-capped, Carolina)
• Wrens (House Wrens, Carolina Wrens)
• Nuthatches (White-breasted, Red-breasted)
• Downy Woodpeckers
• Titmice
• House Finches

Where should you mount it? This birdhouse is designed for post-mounting. For optimal bird safety and attraction, consider these tips:

• Height: Mount it on a sturdy pole between 5 to 15 feet high.
• Location: Choose a spot that offers some shade during the hottest parts of the day (e.g., facing North or East) to prevent overheating.
• Safety: Position it away from potential predators like cats or squirrels. A predator guard on the pole can be very effective.
• Accessibility: Ensure there's a clear flight path to and from the entrance holes, free from dense branches.
• Visibility: Place it where you can easily observe your new residents!

How do you attract birds to nest in your new bird feeder? Attracting birds to nest in a new birdhouse requires patience and a few strategic steps:

• Ideal Placement: As mentioned above, choose a suitable, safe, and semi-shaded location.
• Timing: Put your birdhouse out in late winter or early spring before nesting season officially begins. This gives birds time to discover it during their scouting phase.
• Cleanliness: Ensure the birdhouse is clean and free of debris. Birds prefer a clean, safe, and ready-to-move-in home.
• Patience is Key: It can take weeks, months, or even a full year for birds to decide to nest in a new house. Don't be discouraged if it's not immediately occupied.
• Provide Resources: While this is a birdhouse (for nesting), providing a nearby water source (like a bird bath) and supplementary food (from a separate bird feeder) can make your yard more appealing overall to birds looking to establish territory.
• Natural Habitat: Plant native shrubs and trees nearby to offer additional shelter, perching spots, and natural food sources.
• Avoid Disturbances: Once birds start investigating, try to keep human and pet activity around the birdhouse to a minimum.
• Pesticide-Free Zone: Avoid using chemical pesticides in your yard, as they can harm birds and reduce their food sources (insects).
