Aviary Plans Online
The fancy birdhouses available in the marketplace today lend themselves as functional works of art for the indoor or more frequently outdoor living space.
The vast selection available allows the bird lover to choose the perfect design(s) and proper accessories to compliment indoor decor and outdoor landscape and architecture. The visual features of these fancy birdhouses should match personal taste and the design should be functional for the specific type of bird(s) that the bird lover wishes to attract.
They are also attracted to mealworms and suet from platform feeders if available in your yard. They have a bright blue color, some gray on head and wings, with white and rusty red coloring on breast, rump, and sides.
On the other hand if you are more concerned about the wild birds and your desire is to attract them to your yard with nesting boxes then my recommendation is to buy or build the right bird house for that species of bird. Cavity nesting species of wild birds all prefer a particular size of cavity to build a nest. In the wild they don't always get the perfect cavity they are looking for, but putting up nesting boxes of the right size can be very rewarding.
Types of material used to design birdhouses vary and the proper choice will provide an oasis for avian wildlife competing for shelter. Commercial development and the removal of damaged or diseased trees and shrubbery drive this demand from our feathered friends. Maintenance and durability of the material is also a key factor in your selection. Your choices can include:
In the dead of winter when temperatures are extreme, a larger space can be used to attract more birds to roost and stay warm. If you do decide to have more than your year round bird houses for bird shelter, you may try a larger bird roosting box. These boxes should use thicker wood to keep more heat in and an entrance lower to the bottom of the box, rather than toward the top of the box, may help keep it warmer. As the heat rises, it will be less likely to escape out of the lower entry hole. You may also want to use larger dimensions for the interior to accommodate more roosting birds with inside perches and scored interior walls for easy climbing. For safety, try to use a metal guard around the entrance holes to deter predators such as squirrels and raccoons. Also fewer air vent holes or gaps will help keep cold out and heat in. The same can be done by using your year round bird houses and just temporarily plugging or blocking ventilation holes to keep warmth in.
Other practical considerations when selecting a fancy birdhouse include: ventilation, drainage and cleaning access. Suitable ventilation holes near the top of the birdhouse help maintain fresh air, a dry house and prevent the nestlings from overheating in the summer. Drainage is also an important aspect since in a downpour most likely rain will get inside. Birdhouses should be equipped with inch drainage holes in the bottom. Nestlings can potentially drown in standing water if adequate drainage is not provided. Also look for a birdhouse that allows easy access to examine nestlings and clean out old nests after your birds have fled for the season.
In reality, wild birds are perfectly happy to take up residence in the hollow of a fallen tree if given the choice. The beautiful detail, elegance and character of today's fancy birdhouses do much more to satisfy the aesthetic taste of the bird lover or the new home owner. The good news is that these truly functional works of art can satisfy both the bird lover and the birds! You must be aware of the practical considerations for attracting your favorite wild bird before you choose a piece to complement your outdoor living space or indoor decor.
