Which wild bird houses attract songbirds?

Determining which wild bird houses attract songbirds is easy, once you know which type of bird is most likely to land in your yard in the first place.  This might take a bit of research on your part, but it is well worth it as it is a happy home that makes a bird sing!  The key is to find out from your local wildlife association or chamber of commerce just exactly what kind of songbirds frequent your area.  Then buy the wild bird houses that suit them best.

For instance, some songbirds such as the oriole and the purple martin prefer a version of condominium living.  These bird houses are usually bird houses that tend to have a couple of floors and a large number of nesting holes.  Chickadees and bluebirds tend to prefer wild bird houses that are like single family units consisting of one cozy room.  Robins prefer a nesting platform, with an open front.

Make sure you do your homework before you buy as there is nothing more depressing than looking at a bird house that your birds have condemned. 

The following online vendors offer species-specific wild bird houses.  You're sure to find exactly what you need.
