Our Chickadee House opens easily for
monitoring and cleaning. Optional Slate
Squirrel Guard available to provide extra
protection from squirrels that like to
enlarge the entrance hole and occupy a
bird house. Chickadee houses should be
mounted 5 to 15 feet high with the
entrance hole facing away from prevailing
wind. 1 inch of wood shavings can be
placed in the house. To attract
Black-capped and Carolina Chickadees,
houses should be placed in habitats
receiving 40-60% sunlight such as
forests, woodlots, and yards with mature
hardwood trees, forest edges or meadows.
To attract Mountain Chickadees, houses
should be placed in coniferous forests,
forest edges and woodland clearings. You
can encourage chickadees to stay in your
yard by continuing to fill your suet and
peanut feeders through the summer. |
