Wooden Birdhouse kits…for Bats, Feeders & Fun!
Birdhouse kits provide much more than the entertainment or project itself. With the serious decline in natural habitats due to urban sprawl and commercial zonings, nesting sites for wild birds are actually becoming scarce. It’s a tough real estate market out there!
As projects for church groups, schools, or a rainy day with your kids, there’s no better way to teach something about our precious environment and the immediate need for conservation efforts. Wooden birdhouse kits provide proper nesting sites for more than 50 species of cavity dwelling birds! The most common include: Bluebirds, Kestrels, Owls, Titmice, Chickadees, Nuthatches, Wrens, Tree Swallows, and Woodpeckers. While some other wooden kits include bat houses and bird feeders, there’s even a recycled plastic birdhouse and bird feeder kit now available.

More Success with Wooden Birdhouse Kits
So nesting season is here, and you’ve decided on creating a home for wild birds in your yard. Wooden birdhouse kits are an excellent way to do just that. They are proportioned correctly for the kinds of cavity nesters you’d like to attact. There are specific bluebird house kits and wren house kits, as well as others.
You can better your chances of actually hosting a family of fledglings by hanging nesting material nearby. This will further entice your feathered friends to nest here. Many commercial nesting materials are available, fashioned in wreaths, balls, and baskets. Strings and yarn are always good choices, as is hair, and even dryer lint! I recently placed some horse hair (from the tail and mane) into a mesh bag and hung it from a tree. The birds love it, and have pulled it every which way! Now i just need to figure out which houses are hosting what birds!
