Key Features for your Birdhouse
Every birdhouse should have a few key features. This ensures they're safe for birds and chicks.
- natural materials like wood
- fledgling kerfs
- clean-out door
- ventilation
- predator guards
Fledgling kerfs are a must for any birdhouse. They're notches or ledges on the inside walls of the birdhouse for chicks to get out.
You can add kerfs to your birdhouse if it doesn't come with them.
Predator guards are easy to add & not many birdhouses come with them. Not many predators are getting inside of bird houses but the ones that do can be deterred with cones, baffles, or entrance guards.
