ADDITIONAL INFO:
Which birds use nesting boxes?
Different cavity-nesting birds have different preferences for the depth & floor space of their nest boxes.
The different entrance hole sizes prevent the entrance of larger birds. Placement of the hole is also important, houses meant as decor only often have the entrance in the middle.
When is the best time to set up a bird house?
Early spring is the best time to get your bird houses up, but some birds may need a home well before the snow is gone. Chickadees will start courting as early as February, and the females are looking for males with the best territory, which means a home and a large food supply.
Where should a bird house be set up?
It varies by species, but you can place the houses in a sheltered area that won’t be preyed on by larger birds (crows, magpies, blue jays, ravens, etc.) and feral or household cats that are in the neighbourhood. Generally, it’s best to put feeders and houses a fair distance from each other (or else the birds won’t use the house due to intense competition and activity).
