With the arrival of Easter, so begins the nesting season for many wild birds. Scientific data has shown a vast decrease in available nesting sites, mostly due to the increased destruction of natural habitat. Competition from non-native species also contributes to the decline in possible nest sites.
This year, instead of adopting cute baby chicks at Easter Time, consider a unique birdhouse. They are available in sooooo many themes! You may want to hide one for the Easter Egg Hunt for one lucky recipient to take home.
With a serious shortage in nesting sites, a real home will make a difference for wild birds in your yard!
