Making a Selection on the Perfect Bird House

In selecting a bird house you first need to consider the size of your lawn or garden. You don't want to get your lawn or garden overcrowded with friendly flier attractions. The selecting of a bird house will depend on the type of birds present in your area.

Bird houses of old were more apt to be made of wood, such as a beach house, a cottage with a thatched roof or church where today you can find more houses made of poly resin and molded into different shapes, such as a bear, a horse or even a crocodile. In selecting a bird house you need to make sure it is well ventilated, has a slanted roof and holes in the floor for water drainage. You also want to make sure the house doesn't have a perch in case larger birds are stalking the smaller birds and wait for them to come out. A bird house should make your friendly fliers feel safe and secure and give them a place to raise their young.

With many bird house styles available you should be able to find one that will fit your liking.
