Decorative Bird Houses…More Than Looks!

It’s a boat…hanging in a tree!  A boat birdhouse that’s actually home to a family of chickadees in my yard.  This is a very neat little house that’s seen several years of fledglings, and received many compliments too.  Decorative bird houses do so much more than just decorate the yard and look good.

This house is about seven years old, and it’s seen new nests every year.  I’m not sure why, but the birds really like this one!  With the vast destruction of natural habitat, it’s getting tougher for wild birds to find proper nest sites.  Cavity nesting birds face stiff competition for nest boxes, so hanging birdhouses really does help them thrive.

Please help house the birds!
