This will help to choose the right kind of birdhouse and also give you a sense of what to be looking out for when bird watching. If bluebirds or purple martins are frequent visitors, for example, these two species have birdhouses specific to their nature. Purple Martin birdhouses come with many holes and rooms as they often cohabitate as a group. While many advocate building one’s own birdhouse, birdhouses purchased from Yard Envy ensure proper ventilation, sizing and safe building materials, maintaining the birds' safety.

Now more than ever is the time to create a bird garden design more necessary as it provides a safe place for birds to live and thrive. Nearly 80% of US wildlife habitat falls in private hands, with more and more residential areas being built each year. Bird feeders will help birds to notice the birdhouses, and make them aware that your yard is a safe zone for birds. The presence of birdfeeders are especially important for attracting bluebirds. Hanging a few decorative birdhouses on fences, trees and posts allows for a higher concentration of birdlife in different areas of the outdoors. Just make sure to keep plenty of distance between them because birds often prefer privacy and their own space. Arrange generous amounts of materials used for tucking inside birdhouses such as pine straw or shredded wood chips neatly around flower beds or trees, making the yard appealing for birds seeking new homes. Capture the beauty and style of your bird garden by taking nature-inspired pictures and videos and share them with your friends or neighbors. Birdwatchers and feathered friends alike will take great pleasure in the transformation of the space in your backyard.
