Food supplies and water attract some birds to your garden, offers a refuge for birdhouses attract others.
About fifty species of birds that nest cavities are used in aviaries, thirty-five of them do on a regular basis. Man-made cavities provide nesting boxes important for many of these species, due to inconvenience in natural cavities (dead trees) and large living trees are more and more scarce in the yards of the city and suburbs. The birds are not much in the way of housing in these areas, so if you provide artificial holes for them and give some attention to detail, you will be able to attract wild birds you want and exclude those who are less desirable. If you provide a place for them to nest, you will have the pleasure of seeing often at close range. Moreover, birds that use of nesting boxes tend to be the prodigious insect-eaters, which is another reason to attract in aviaries.
Choose the site for placement an aviary with care. Nesting boxes for tree species such as chickadees and woodpeckers should be mounted directly on the trees. Otherwise, the garlands or tied to trees should be clear from the main trunk and placed where the sun can reach them. It's a good idea of the birdhouses position again in the fall before falling the leaves so you can be sure of the points will not be too dark and gloomy. Hawks, like all things that grow, the sun needs.
Nesting time varies with bird species and geographical location. For the same year occupation, nesting boxes should be operational no later than January, at the southern tip of the States, from February to March in middle and northern states and Canada. If the birds seem to ignore the houses have installed, be patient. Sometimes a new home is viewed with suspicion, and the birds will be more likely to accept a time that has resisted a bit – another reason why fall is a great time to placement of new housing.
It is easy to provide features that will make banks more attractive as nesting homes. Birds, Spook if they can fly to an inlet port and find the field inside the black box, so choose boxes with ventilation holes on the top side (or sham of his own) to provide some light and fresh air. Wood chips and shavings in the bottom of the box is readily accepted, and chickadees and woodpeckers small that it can completely fill the box with chips and allow the bird to its own cavity. Do not use sawdust as it does not ventilate and dry, and chips. Offer nesting materials where birds can find trouble if you really want to make happy!
Make sure the box can reach easily, as it should be cleaned every autumn when nesting season is more than reduce parasites such as mites and lice, and to discourage mice from nesting. Clean between young and if your birds are raised for more than one family per season.
Choose a quiet and keep out the nesting box face a busy road. Make sure you place it near trees and shrubs for novice can hide and avoid being eaten by cats in the neighborhood, while development their flying skills. In southern regions, it makes sense to have the north side entrance to avoid the accumulation of heat in the box, in the northern regions, with the south side of entry could help keep it warm.
Four to five dwellings per hectare is right, you do not want to create a slum of birds.
Predators such as cats, squirrels, raccoons, rats and snakes will always be a problem, Thus, in most areas of complete protection probably not possible. However, there are several things you can do to help keep the nest safe:
- Perches are not necessary in a nesting box and only serve to attract sparrows and starlings.
- Mount a metal cone guard in the aviary form below if mounted on a pole, if the nesting is mounted in a box since cats or squirrels can climb, wrap the post with veneer.
- Be accurate with the orifice size needed for birds wants to attract.
Put a block of wood 1 inch thick with a hole the size of the orifice at the front of the box, creating a small tunnel that will help prevent squirrels and raccoons from reaching into the nest. Make sure the hole in the sand block so smooth.
Of course it is hard to predict what the birds when it comes to their nesting boxes, but it is generally assumed that most birds prefer a natural look, so use brown, tan or gray stain or paint for the exterior finish. Moreover, some studies have indicated that the houses wrens prefer red or green. The interior of nesting boxes should always be left unfinished.
