Answer 2

First make sure the entrance is the right size for the bird you wish to have stay there. There are a lot of birds who wreck other, smaller birds nests or substitute their eggs for the occupants. Put a "take off" pad below the entrance. When birds take off they "unload". It can be a mess. Placing the house where it is safe is important. Construction can be o.k. That is, not perfect. Just keep the rain off and not fall apart. Any shape that will accommodate the bird will work. A dodecahedron would be cool. That is like a Bucky ball.

Having a few birdhouses near your home is a great way to attract a number of birds to make their home right in your own backyard. Although a standard birdhouse can easily attract a number of different types of birds to your property, many people prefer to use birdhouses that are designed to only attract specific species of birds. The trick to designing bird houses that will attract a specific type of birds is to create a birds house that mimicks the type of bird nest that the bird typically builds for itself on its own. Here is what you need to know about building a the different birdhouses that will attract blue jays and cardinals.

Blue jays are easily one of most arresting birds that are commonly seen in North America. In the wild, blue jays typically make nests that are shaped like cups made out of small pieces of wood, grass and moss. In order to welcome blue jays to your property, you will need to construct an open birdhouse that can sit on a nesting platform. The bottom of the structure should be 8 by 8 with a sloped ceiling that rests about 8 above the platform. Make sure that the entry hole for the birdhouse is large enought to accommodate a mature blue jay. The bird house should be set 8’ off the ground in an area where the opening can face west without receiving too much sun in the afternoon.

Attracting a pair of cardinals to your backyard is a great way to have some feathered friends that you will get to see all year round. The best way to encourage cardinals to make their home on your property is to construct an open birdhouse out of wire. An used wire birdcage is very easy to work with, but any malleable wire will do. Create an open wire cage that has one side completely open. The size of the birdhouse can vary but about 12 by 12 is ideal. Set an abundant amount of torn strips of cloth, wool, twigs and grass inside the cage. The cage should be set on top of an outstretched branch that sits about 8’ off of the ground.
