What bird likes what bird house?

Answer 1

Great Question!

Birds are very picky. Bird houses should have a hole in them the size for the bird to barely fit into. Small birds like very small bird houses with very small holes. Larger birds like bird houses which have medium size holes, but much room inside.

Some birds, like the black martin like to have a long approach path to their house, so their bird house must be on a very tall pole high above everything or they will not use it.

Some birds just take what they can get. If you have a bird feeder and you get mostly little birds, hang a couple little bird houses in a nearby tree. If you want larger birds put their larger house in your back yard, hanging many size houses or too many bird houses in one tree I have found tends to leave empty houses. Birds are very social, but they are not like people, they do not like overcrowded homes.

Answer 2

Whichever bird makes it its home.
