More than two dozen
North American birds will nest in bird houses. Bluebirds prefer nest boxes on a
tree stump or wooden fence post. Robins like to build their nest
in the crotch of a tree. If you don't have an
appropriate tree, you can offer a nesting
platform. Chickadees and nuthatches share the same food,
feeders, and habitats. If you put a properly
designed nest box in a wooded yard, at least one
pair is sure to check it out. Wrens don't seem to be very
picky about where they nest and will accept nest boxes quite
close to your house. Tree
swallows prefer nest boxes attached to dead
trees. The ideal setting for these insect-eaters
is on the edge of a field near a lake, pond, or
river. Violet-green
swallows nest in forested mountains of the
west; boxes placed on large trees in a semi-open
woodland will attract them. Purple
martins nest in groups, so you'll need a
house with a minimum of four large rooms. You can
attract all the woodpeckers with a suet feeder,
but only the flicker and the red-bellied
woodpecker are likely to use a bird
house. |
