Are Birdhouses Important?

Yes, birdhouses are important. They are commonly used as a "house" for birds, and even though you might think of them as primarily a decorative feature, they are more often used to benefit the environment by offering avian wildlife a place to live and thrive.

Birdhouse Benefits

Birdhouses provide several benefits to our environment. Basically, a birdhouse is a protective wooden box that provides the following...

• A place that provides shelter for bird species that eat weeds and insects. Certain birds will also help to pollinate flowers.
• A protected environment to lay eggs.
• A place to hide from predators and other evasive bird species.
• A warm place to stay during cold winter months. Some areas of the world get extremely cold, and non-migratory birds often look for a place to stay warm until spring.
• A place for birds to just "hang out." Observing birds that are enjoying a birdhouse will give humans a sense of peace and satisfaction.

Mounting a Birdhouse

Mounting a birdhouse is fun and easy. Mounting a birdhouse somewhere in your yard takes little time, and soon you'll be glad you did because a mother bird is sure to find it. Birdhouses are priced at an average range of about $5 to $10 and are readily available at retail stores across America. There is typically no assembly required and will make a fun project for kids.

Bluebird Boxes

Birdhouses have been around for a long time. They're sometimes used for helping a particular species that is considered endangered, such as Bluebirds. Boxes made specifically for Bluebirds (bluebird boxes) were used in the early 20th Century as part of "Bluebird Trails" and were a significant determining factor that helped to bring back the number of declining Bluebirds.

Conclusion

Many factors in our environment cause disruptions to birds and songbirds. Imagine what our neighborhoods would be like if there were no sights and sounds of singing birds. Birdhouses help to benefit our environment by sustaning avian life.

"The sights and sounds of birds are good for everyone, and observing them in nature helps us to experience peace and satisfaction."
