No Need to Clean Out a Wood Birdhouse Right Now!
Wish I’d seen this info a bit earlier….
like before removing the nest from my Bluebird house a few weeks ago! They say it’s called “Spring Cleaning” for a reason, and not wise to clean houses in fall. By leaving nesting materials in a wood birdhouse over cold winter months, it helps to reduce bird parasites by allowing the birds’ own natural defenses against them to develop.
Woodpeckers and others who do not gather their own nesting materials may be enticed to these nesting sites as well. So, next time you’re ready for spring cleaning…wait until spring!

Good Wood Birdhouses!
Believe it or not, this is a real bird house meant for feathered friends! It features a twist off base for yearly clean-out, proper ventilation, and entrance proportioned for wrens, chickadees, and other small songbirds.What makes this wood good? The Fat Cat and other great wood birdhouses are hand crafted from fast growth, renewable, albesia wood. The paints and finishes used are non-toxic, so they’re good for birds and good for the environment.
Help cavity dwelling birds in your yard to thrive and flourish by providing proper nesting sites…they don’t have to be boring boxes to be effective!

Ever Seen a Double Decker Hopper Bird Feeder?
Double Decker Hopper Bird Feeder Some bird feeders hold more seed than others, while some feeders just look better in the yard. There are some large capacity wild bird feeders that really do look good! You can spend less time filling, and more time watching when using hopper style feeders. They tend to have a larger capacity than tube feeders, and many will compliment your environment too.
This recycled feeder is a “Double Decker Hopper” and allows more perching room than a traditional hopper bird feeder. The bottom, or base also acts as a seed catcher to prevent unwanted ground mess. This type of feeder will attract a greater variety of wild birds, while the recycled plastic is guaranteed to never crack, split or fade. With a 4-quart capacity, you won’t have to make as many trips filling the feeder.
