Whether its function or form that dominates your decision when choosing a birdhouse for your garden its important to keep a few criteria in mind. As fun as it is to choose a stylish birdhouse there are some features that will help ensure the birds enjoy the house as much as you do.
Whatever style you choose it needs to be accessible through an entrance hole suitable for the type of bird you desire. You need the right amount of space for birds to nest but not excessively large as this can be frustrating for birds. Our flighty friends like white and/or neutral colors and houses made of wood.
Of course you don't want moisture to build up inside so water has to be able to drain and air needs to circulate. To stay clean it has to be accessible with a removable panel. An overhang is another nice feature as it provides shelter from the elements.
Ever wonder how the house might look and feel to the birds on the inside?
