What do songbirds want in a home?
The same basics you and I wanta secure and comfortable place to call their own. Secure means safe from predators, so our holes are only 1.5 inches in diameter, and 6 inches up from the floor bottom. Comfortable means dry and not too cold or hot so our material thickness is chosen for its insulating quality. Holes in the top and bottom allow ventilation and drainage. The roof overhang provides drip protection, and shading. We also prefer to paint our houses white to help reflect the hotter afternoon sun.
