Decorative bird houses are for those who want more than just an A-frame wood structure with a hole in it. They are made with more than just run-of-the-mill in mind. Decorative bird houses are often painted bright colors using a variety of different designs, hence their name. As pretty as they are, remember that some birds avoid those bright colors because it makes them a target to predators. Decorative bird houses come in many different styles, shapes, and colors. Heck, if you make your own you can design and paint it any way you want.
Feeders are necessary, too. Hanging or free standing bird feeders ensure a steady source of food for birds, which makes your backyard bird house prime real estate for little birds flying about. Of course, it is possible for feeders to spread parasites and disease so you will want to occasionally remove nests after rearing and clean and spray nest boxes and feeders with a mix of 90% water and 10% chlorine bleach.
Birdhouses range in style from gazebo and Victorian styles to barns and space shuttles; really, just about anything you can imagine can serve as a resting place for birds. Birdhouses protect birds and when coupled with well-stocked feeders and a variety of seeds and insects from your garden, they will find a safe haven in your backyard. In return, they bring your garden to life with flashes of color, wonderful songs and comical antics.
Store bought decorative birdhouses are very affordable and you will be the talk of the neighbors if you choose an interesting theme. If you want to save money and you are creative then you can try to build your own. Decorative bird houses are a must for any garden or lawn irrespective of its size and are a wonderful way to enjoy wild birds and add color to your yard at the same time. Even if birds do not move in right away a decorative bird house can add a lot of visual interest in the yard as soon as you set it up.
Everyone should have at least one decorative birdhouse in their home. These are an attention grabber and start conversation. - 15266
