Bird activity and add color to your garden, and what better way to enjoy them, giving them aviaries where they can nest and raise their young. This adds a unique dimension to your outdoor life as you can see the adults bring food and anxiously await the day when the little ones can fly on their own.
But hang a birdhouse in your garden has more value than just to entertain you. In modern times man has invaded the natural habitat of many birds that nest and some of these birds have nowhere to build nests. In fact, some species have declined significantly since the 1950s due to the enthusiasm of the man to build schools commercial and apartment buildings in the area where forests once stood.
The birds most affected by this cavity nesting birds – birds that build their nests in holes or cavities. These are birds that can assist in hanging a birdhouse in the garden and include Downey woodpecker, Unemployment, the normal Titmouse, House Wren, and Red Breasted Nuthatch.
Depending on what type of bird you want to drive you wish to hang your birdhouse at different heights. Believe or not, the birds very particular about this. To attract the Titmouse, Red Breasted Nuthatch or carpenter Downey then you want to be sure that the aviary is the time between 5 and 15 meters high. The Wren House, however, does not like their nest to be so high and want to keep it between 5 and 10 feet. Unemployment, goes a little lower and you can hang your 4 to 15 feet. In general, if the aviary is blocked between 5 and 10 feet high has the opportunity to attract some of these birds.
In addition to one or more hanging bird houses, can also attract birds in your yard, placing a feeder and a birdbath. Then you can go through the aviary, while feeding and I think it is a good place to build a nest.
Aviaries can be hung on trees and fences to poles or anywhere else so you can imagine. Usually, you want that the aviary to be stable so the way most people hang them is screw from the rear in a tree or a solid pole. If you can get a birdhouse coming from a metal bar that can be good for your birds because it makes it more difficult for squirrels and raccoons for up to baby birds. You want to keep the aviary away from your own home or in other areas of activity, since most are too busy birds nesting there.
Since birds start building a nest in the spring you want to make sure you have the house out long before they are looking for new accommodation. So the plan to hang around February or March so you can be ready for new family of birds.
If you are planning on using birdhouse year after year, you want to clean up after each nesting season. It is very easy to know when birds are nesting and there is no activity around the aviary. When baby birds are there you see the mother with food flying quite frequently. If you think that the nest is empty and Tap review the picture and if you hear nothing it's okay to take on the floor and clean.
Do not use harsh chemicals when cleaning your bird cage, simply brush it out and maybe use water to clean down. Make sure it is dry and stored for winter. Then in February the following year can be hung up for years to prepare for the season nesting!
