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!

Bird Accessories Really Do Attract More Wild Birds
If you enjoy backyard birding, and want to attract a greater variety of feathered friends, there’s so much more available than just birdhouses and feeders.
Moving water is like a magnet for wild birds, and it attracts many species who won’t even visit feeders. By adding a fountain, mister or dripper to your birdbath, it creates sights and sounds that are guaranteed to bring more wild birds. Plus the soothing sounds of moving water are enjoyed by many folks too, as it’s relaxing.
Nesting Material is another way to attract more wild birds. Many birds do not nest in birdhouses, but will use nesting material to make their home in your trees or thicket, or even in your plants, and near your house.
The Seed Hoop for example, is a bird feeder attachment that will reduce waste below your feeder. But it also creates a platform below your bird feeder, attracting birds who will not perch at a feeder. Ground feeding birds too will take advantage of platform feeders.
So, if you’re new to backyard birding, just know there are many wild bird accessories beyond feeders and houses that will successfully attract more feathered friends!
