Luxury Bird Houses

Why give your garden birds a glorified box to nest in, when you can provide then with luxury bird houses that will look superb in your garden too.

Luxury bird houses serve two purposes.

1. They provide a sheltered area for our feathered friends.
2. They look good.

Some of the bird houses on this page would not be out of place in a Homes and Gardens magazine.

Even if you don't actually like birds all that much, you would be tempted to buy one just because they are so attractive to look at.

For the bird lover, a luxury bird house serves more than one function, and would look great in anyone's backyard.

Bird houses are places for birds to shelter from inclement weather, as well as places to nest.

Many bird species return to the same place to nest year after year, ensuring that your garden always has a welcome supply of birds to removed aphids and undesirable insects from plants.

Some birds eat mosquitoes too, which is an added bonus, but bats are generally far more efficient at getting rid of those particular insects.

Birds that feed at dusk, like swallows and house martens, are mosquito eaters.

If you want to attract a specific type of bird into your garden, then it is the size of the bird house entrance hole that will determine the type of bird that lives there.

Too small, and the bird can't get in, too large, and other, bigger birds will go in and deter smaller birds.

There is a handy reference guide to ideal entrance hole sizes here.
