Proper Placement of Birdhouses
You can put it on a flat place or on a wooden board, window or hang the birdhouse on a sturdy branch of the garden wherever you want.
Birdhouse Materials and Features
Use the proper materials. Wood is best for birdhouses. Other materials may not insulate the nest enough, so eggs or young could become too cold or hot. Use rough wood, tree sections, or 3/4-inch plywood.

Proper Placement Tips
Birdhouse walls should be 3⁄4 inch thick. If smooth, score interior walls so baby birds climb out.
The entrance hole should not face prevailing winds or rain. In most U.S., east, south or north is best.
Birdhouses should be 5 to 30 feet up and at least 25 feet apart. Consider privacy and limited activity to avoid anxious parents.
Plant prickly bushes at tree base to deter predators. Mounting height varies per species. Check recommendations.
