Where is the best place to put a bird house?

The best place to put a bird house will vary depending on the kind of birds you wish to attract. Mounting a birdhouse high up on a pole is usually best in order to thwart potential predators. Place the bird house at least 25 feet from other nests or bird houses to avoid competition and provide privacy. A sunny area is fine, just be sure to face your bird hose away from intense afternoon sun. You can also check species preferences to determine ideal mounting heights and the best house location (wooded, pasture, etc.) for different birds.

How do I put a bird house in a tree?

Put a bird house in a tree by mounting it securely to the trunk using tree-safe fasteners or fabric straps. Try to avoid hanging your bird house from a branch, as houses that swing a lot in the wind may disturb nesting birds. You may want to look up preferred bird house mounting heights for the bird species you want to attract.

What size bird house do I need?

The bird house size you need will vary depending on what kinds of birds you want to nest there. Ideal size depends on things like brood size, how big the adult birds are and how big the baby birds will be when they leave the nest. Pick a bird house based on species-specific size requirements or choose a house made to suit a variety of wild birds. Chewy carries all-purpose houses as well as ones sized for specific types of birds. Shop our site to find bluebird houses, wren houses, woodpecker houses, houses for songbirds and more!

What are the best kinds of bird houses?

The best kinds of bird houses are sturdy, weatherproof structures well-suited to the needs of birds in your area. Many experts recommend wooden bird houses with good ventilation and drainage holes in the bottom. A good roof overhang will help keep rain out, and a hinged top will make it easier to clean your bird house between nesting seasons. Look for smaller homes for songbirds, or choose larger structures to attract bigger birds like kestrels and woodpeckers. Entrance size is important, too, since different sizes will attract different types of birds.
