Birds are picky about where they raise their baby chicks. The cavity size and depth, hole size, height from ground, etc. are species-dependent. Our birdhouse exterior is approx. 5.5 x 6 x 9"H, and the entry holes are sized for wrens, bluebirds, chickadees, nuthatches, and other small cavity-nesting species.
Every birdhouse comes with information for identifying, feeding, and protecting songbirds, including a chart of species-specific mounting heights. For extra predator protection, these birdhouses do not have exterior perches, and the plain lumber will age to blend into the surrounding habitat. If you really want songbirds to nest in your yard, this is the birdhouse they'll choose!
