Decorative birdhouses have a much more practical use than just adding flair to your garden.  There are over fifty North American species of birds that will reside in birdhouses.  Birdhouses also help to add refuge to birds that have lost their natural habitats.  Particularly in more suburban regions, birdhouses are particularly essential because development destroys much of the natural nesting areas.

But birdhouses are not one size fits all.  Because different species of birds have different behavioral and physical characteristics, one birdhouse style of birdhouse may not be suitable for the birds in your region.  A bird will only nest in a birdhouse if the habitat is conducive to them.  Also, because of size variations, try adding many different sizes of birdhouses to your yard as to attract more feathered friends to your garden.
