Where to Place Your Birdhouse
You just bought a lighthouse birdhouse to add a little decoration to your garden, but where is the most functional place to put it? Well, that is up to the birds really. When trying to find the best place in your backyard for the bird house consider, of course, what type of bird you are trying to attract. Then, pay attention to the natural patterns of this type of bird and try to recreate it. If you notice the bird likes a certain type of tree or bush, putting the house next to these would be appropriate.
There are other things to consider when placing your birdhouse as well. Birds generally like a direct flight path, so keeping the entrance easily accessible is important. Also, keep the entrance away from direct, hot sunlight. A little morning sun is okay. Finally, if you can, keep the entrance away from prevailing winds so rain doesn’t fly in. By following these ideas, you have a better chance of having your birdhouse occupied.
