Has anyone tried installing a bird house for nest building? I visited an enthusiast yesterday and he had a few of them. Inside the houses were fully built nests and babies!
We tried. One was a small one and i didn't expect anything from it. The Carolina Chickadees checked it out many times, but never took to it.
The other one we had out was a window suction type with a one sided mirror. I expected more from it, but that one also only attracted some Carolina Chickadees to take a peek a few times.
I think ill try again next year.
We spotted the following nests in and around our yard this year: Blue Jays, Multiple Grackle, Multiple Robin, Multiple Cat Bird, Song Sparrow, Mourning Dove, Chipping Sparrow, and Starlings.
