Summer is here and gardens are filled with beautiful flowers and colorful birds. Everyone’s garden would have got a face lift with classic landscaping and garden decor accessories. To add beauty to the garden and also attract colorful birds to your garden, consider adding a birdhouse. Birdhouses come in different shapes, sizes, colors and materials.
Birdhouses can be made of wood, metal, glass and even ceramic. When considering to buy a birdhouse, to give a bird a new home, we need to decide on two factors. The first is what bird frequents our garden the most. Smaller birds like sparrows or wrens would prefer smaller birdhouses in which they feel secure from predators. These birdhouses can be freestanding or hung from a tree. There are many designs of birdhouses available. They can be single story or 2/3 stories. Wooden birdhouses are crafted in various designs like Victorian houses, log cabins, churches, diners, fishing cabins, lighthouses etc. Practically, any design of building that comes to mind can be made into a birdhouse. Ceramic ones come in animal shapes, bird shapes and even shapes like flowers, hats etc. They are painted with all sorts of colors from rustic to the eye-popping pink. But keep in consideration that birds may not like too bright colors as they attract predators also very easily.
