What Makes a Good Home for Birds?
A good bird house must meet several essential criteria to be a suitable home for your feathered friends. Firstly, the size and entrance hole should be appropriate for the bird species you aim to attract. For example, smaller birds like chickadees and wrens prefer entrance holes around 1-1/8 inches in diameter, while larger birds like bluebirds need holes about 1-1/2 inches wide.
Secondly, proper ventilation and drainage are crucial. Ensure the bird house has small vents near the top to allow air circulation and tiny holes in the bottom to prevent water accumulation. The bird house should also be made from durable, non-toxic materials to withstand the elements and provide a safe environment for the birds.
Lastly, the location and security of the bird house matter. Place the house in a quiet, sheltered spot, preferably facing away from prevailing winds. Mount it high enough to protect from predators but accessible enough for you to clean and maintain it.
How to Introduce Your Bird House into Your Garden
Once you've chosen the perfect bird house, introducing it into your garden involves careful placement and some initial upkeep. Start by selecting a suitable location that offers shelter and a clear flight path. Trees, tall shrubs, or dedicated poles can be excellent choices. Ensure the bird house is securely fastened to avoid swaying, which can deter birds from nesting.
Monitoring the bird house in the first few weeks is essential. Birds are more likely to move in if they feel the area is safe and undisturbed. Regularly check for any signs of predators and make necessary adjustments. Keep the bird house clean by removing old nests at the end of the breeding season to prepare it for future occupants.

Let customers speak for us
This is my 3rd set of the Solar Butterfly garden set. They last a long time and survive in our rainy season.
So pretty I luv it in my garden💜
Very cute and lights brightly.
I’ve bought a few of Exhart on Amazon and saw this little guy on their site He’s so well painted and unique, I’m so thrilled I added him to my collection!
These Exhart garden stakes are the best of all similar products, as the stake itself has colored lights up and down, plus the acrylic creature at the top. I have owned them for a few years, and just purchased more, after looking at and trying other online products which didn’t measure up.
Sadly as I reviewed the web prices, I discovered that I could buy the same items at Home Depot for $10.98.
They are so pretty I put them all over my yard💜
It's fun watching the lights come on. I love watching the colors change!
They are so pretty and colorful and very visible in my yard outside Luv them.
Got this for my Jeep loving husband! He was thrilled. The lights are a nice touch.
Excellent Quality and Excellent Price
This art-in-motion hanging art piece is beautiful and twirls in the wind.
How to Help Birds with Materials Needed for Their Nests
Beyond providing a bird house, you can further support your garden’s avian visitors by offering materials for nest building. Birds typically seek out natural items such as twigs, leaves, grass, and moss. You can help by leaving small piles of these materials in your garden.
Additionally, birds appreciate soft materials for lining their nests. You can provide feathers, pet hair, and shredded paper in small quantities. Avoid synthetic materials and dryer lint, as they can be harmful. Placing these materials in a mesh bag or a small container hung near the bird house can make them easily accessible for your feathered friends.
