What to Look for When Shopping HOME Bird Houses
When selecting from the HOME lineup, consider your space and target birds. The Rustic Cottage model excels in open yards or patios, offering ample space for families of cardinals or finches. Evaluate entrance hole size—typically 1.5 inches for bluebirds—and depth for safe nesting. Ventilation and drainage holes prevent moisture buildup, a must for healthy chicks. Placement matters too: mount 5-10 feet high, facing away from prevailing winds, near water sources but predator-safe.
