Do you care for the world of flora and fauna surrounding us? Well, it is fine, but you knew what, appears, not in each wooden lodge the bird is ready to lodge? That it did not occur in your case, it is useful to get acquainted with the councils allowing to understand how it is correct to hang up the birdhouse. Besides we will consider in details and such moment which will prompt in what direction has to watch an opening of a new bird's lodge.
Where and where to hang up the birdhouse especially if there are no trees?
Birds lodge in the lodges located in parks, gardens, seasonal dachas. Besides, some birds move into to the birdhouses beaten to balconies of multi-storey buildings. The last, by the way, is the hint to where to hang up a lodge if nearby there are no trees. It appears, modern birds adapted to life of megalopolises. And therefore, if we deal with the stone jungle, we hang up the birdhouse from the outer side of a balcony. However, if you are afraid for safety of birds and hang up it so low that there kids prankishes or cats are capable to reach, then it you only do much harm to birds.
Considering fastening option to a tree, it is important to note that if the birdhouse is on the garden site, then the house for birds can be painted the most various colors. Such colourful new system will not frighten off birds. It is proved that they lodge in lodges both red, and yellow, and other bright color. If you place it in the forest or the park, then we paint only in tone of bark of leaves or trees.
How it is correct to hang up the birdhouse on a tree at the dacha or in the park?
It is important to note, first of all, what cannot be done:
- to hang up nesting grounds it is lower than 2-3 meters;
- to hang up an opening face on the northeast from where cold wind with the rain often blows;
- to hang up with an inclination back.
Remember that the lodge should not be shaken on a tree. You should attach densely it by means of a soft wire. Hook strongly, but consider that, if something happens, it will be necessary to remove it and to return back. So, under a wire surely put wooden blocks which thickness will be about 3 cm. It becomes to save the mother nature that metal in process of growth of a tree did not pierce in bark. Hang up on a thick horizontal branch closer to a trunk.
Perhaps, it will become opening for you, but birds, as well as people, need personal space, to be exact the individual territory within which there should not be neighbors. However, life in such communal flat is transferred only by sparrows and starlings. So, for a big titmouse the minimum distance between nests makes 50-60 m, for a flycatcher-pestrushki – 20 m. If to speak about height on which hang up lodges for birds it is 5-7 m (in a park zone) and about 9 m in the territory of the settlement.
Entrance opening or litok it has to be located so that it was from the aired party and direct sunshine did not get into it.
The birdhouse is established or strictly vertically, or with a small inclination forward - it will be convenient to birds to get out and during a rain it is possible to be sure that in a lodge water will not be filled in.
We establish a nesting ground so that branches of a tree did not adjoin to its front part. It becomes in order that the cat did not pay to birds a visit.
The option is not excluded that in a lodge which you will hang up in the near future nobody will move into and it in spite of the fact that you hung up it correctly. In this case it is influenced by a number of circumstances, independent of you, and therefore will not be superfluous to make some more birdhouses and to hang out them in different places.
