Buying Guide
Size of the Nest Opening
If you are buying a birdhouse to attract specific types of birds or already have a pet, you need to know that the nest’s opening is one of the critical criteria for attracting birds.
For small birds like robins and sparrows, hole sizes of 5 cm to 7 cm is ideal. This also ensures that other larger birds and predators do not attack the birdlings and the eggs during the breeding season.
Waterproof
Many of the bird nests are made waterproof and are hence safe for birds during the rainy season.
Also, just a waterproof nest is not enough. The roof should again be slanting or sloping, which prevents water accumulation.
Natural Materials
Nests made with a natural material like natural wood or coir attract birds more quickly as they blend well with the surroundings.
These are also eco-friendly and best for the wild birds as it is similar to their natural habitat.
Cage Compatible
Birdhouses and bird nests are primarily meant to be hung in an open space. However, to give your pet caged bird a cosy corner you may want to buy a bird nest.
In that case, ensure that the size fits the cage requirements, and it should be cage compatible as it is easy to mount or place within a cage.
