Hints:
- Houses should be hung
or positioned well above the ground -- at least five feet --
to keep predators at bay.
- If you are
attaching the house to a tree, keep it away from a branch where cats
might gain access.
- Try to place the
house facing east, away from prevailing winds and in an area of
partial shade.
- Birds also need a
clear shot at flying in and out.
- Perches are not
needed and may allow bullying birds such as starlings or house
sparrows to
drive off desired species.

Some
things to consider when selecting a birdhouse
The diameter of the entrance hole is critical to attracting and getting
the birds you want.
If it's too large, you may get starlings instead of chickadees.

What birds want
from a house
comfort, security, custom features, the same things we do when
it comes to finding a place to raise a family.
