Backyard Wildlife: Birdhouses and Shelves - NebGuide G1427
Providing bird houses and shelves can be a fun and rewarding part of a wildlife program. It doesn’t matter where you live — in an apartment, townhouse, or single family dwelling in a town, a suburb, or the country, you can attract birds by providing the proper nesting structure. Birds such as black-capped chickadees, purple martins, or bluebirds are cavity nesters and can benefit from bird houses. Other birds like the American robin and the barn swallow will use open nesting structures. A well-built house that is durable, rainproof, cool, and easy to clean can add to the attractiveness of your property.
