The Right Bird House for Your Backyard Birds
Backyard Bird Houses
The birds listed below use non-specific bird houses. These backyard birds may not be picky about the kind of bird house they will build their nest in, but they may be picky about the location of the box. These birds may also be particular about their habitat, so if you are looking for a specific bird, be sure you have the right habitat. American Kestrel
The American Kestrel likes areas such as farmland and meadows. The American Kestrel also likes a habitat that is a park or has orchards. The bird house should be placed at least ten feet up on a tree. The bird house can also be placed on a building if one so desires. Great Crested Flycatcher
The Great Crested Flycatcher likes a habitat that is near forests, or wooded areas. The Great Crested Flycatcher also likes parks and places that have orchards. The bird house needs to be hung at least six feet up. Wrens
Wrens are probably the easiest to attract as they are not particular. Wrens like just about any kind of bird house they can squeeze into. You can hang the bird house at about five feet up. The bird house can be hung very near your house if you prefer. Wrens are probably one of the most sociable of birds. Chickadees, Nuthatches, and Titmice
