Bird Houses
Bird houses, also known as nesting boxes, provide shelter to cavity-nesting bird species including songbirds, woodpeckers and owls. Birds are attracted to a bird house because they are in need of shelter. Because birds face habitat loss, a birdhouse can offer birds a place to relax. They also provide shelter from bad weather - rain, snow, wind and cold. Because differnent types of bird houses draw different types of birds, bird houses add to backyard diversity.
