The ideal wren or chickadee birdhouses ...
When shopping for wren or chickadee birdhouses it is important to keep in mind how tiny these birds are. They are cavity nesters that are very vulnerable to being injured or killed by larger birds, so don't just buy an ordinary birdhouse and expect them to breed and survive. Ideal wren or chickadee birdhouses have certain characteristics that can help protect them from predators. Wren or chickadee birdhouses are usually identified by their small nesting holes that are about an inch in diameter. If the nesting hole is much larger, bigger birds can take over their nests or steal their eggs. The best wren or chickadee birdhouses have sloped roofs that shade the nesting hole. This allows the smaller birds a point of entry that cannot be invaded by larger birds. To see great examples of wren or chickadee birdhouses that have both the sloping roof and small nesting holes that are absolutely requisite for these birds' survival, visit the vendors listed below.
