Birdhouses are more than just fun decorative garden structures. They provide nesting places for many different kinds of song birds. And in some cases, multiple families of birds will live in one bird house when the house is big enough. Because there is enough room, the birds do not get territorial, and peacefully coexist in the home. Never heard of a bird apartment had you? But actually the design of these larger birdhouses is the same as the smaller ones; they still have, usually, only one entrance. The difference is that there are multiple chambers within the house.
But what is the difference between a traditional birdhouse with four walls and a roof and a cutely designed one, like a beach birdhouse? Well, to a bird, nothing. They cannot tell the difference between one that has been intricately designed and a plain one. But for you, the difference is great. A designed birdhouse provides a fun and interesting addition to your garden and makes a great decoration. Then, everyone wins. You get a cute new garden feature, and the birds get a warm place to live.
