We have a good size vegetable garden and there are plenty of birds that gather and feed. I built a screen house which works great to keep them from eating lettuce and berries. I’d like to build a few bird houses but don’t want to attract them during the summer months while the garden is in full swing. My question is, are bird houses and vegetable gardens a good combination if you don’t want more birds in the garden, or is it not going to matter because they’re going to come feed anyway? I just don’t want to make it more convenient for them, but at the same time I like to watch them sometimes. We have sparrows, robins, blue jays, and a few more that are in that size category, plus sea gulls because we are near the Atlantic, then crows, and also squirrels in this area.

What size cage do I need to let bluebirds in and starlings out? Hole size? And can you send information that I can purchase the cages from you? Thanks

Great content! Thanks for the info!

Do sell the bird houses? Bird roosting box??

Thank you! We moved and didn’t set up the feeder right away. I couldn’t remember hot to take it apart, so cleaning it had been one a chore! I won’t forget this again. I just love this feeder!

You will not survive unless you embrace Islam... Search for it

I can hardly believe it! Someone actually provides a straightforward answer to a question I had in under two-minutes rather than embedding it somewhere within a long-winded, rambling and lengthy 15-minute video! Well done, Henry!

Would you happen to have a follow-up report on how well this worked?

Nice. I’ll be installing one in September hoping for bats to welcome it and use it next Spring. We’re in SE Ohio and looking forward to a reduction in skeeters by next summer. They’ve been brutal for several years so it’ll be nice to have our winged friends here to help. Thanks for the video.

How much the rent goes for?

Fascinating thank you

Where did you get the brass plates for the opening ?? I can’t find them anywhere !!!

You can go 20 feet up, but you can also go as low as 9 to 10 feet… 20 years of Wildlife Rehab working with hundreds of Screech Owls and I have seen so many natural no higher than 10 feet. Even 8 ft.

Thanks!

Thanks for the tips. Purchased 2 Eco Tough birdhouses today from the northern NM store.

Purchased mine today at the Wild Birds Unlimited in Santa Fe NM.

How did the open tops with the plastic on them do?

Biden’s high inflation across the U.S. has hit hard for everyone, I no longer can afford to feed and house my beautiful bird friends…. And I am sad.

Where could I buy the cage for my large tube feed?

Hello. We tried both those. They still eat the safflower and they still eat the suet turned upside down with package

Great to see you, Henry! Very good information and excellent products at your wonderful store!

Thank you for taking the time to make and post this very informative video. Just subscribed

As a 63 year old I found this difficult at first. But then….I gave it some umph! Then it popped out and now I know not to be too gentle!

Ned? Ned Reyerson? I sure as heckfire remember you! Bing!

My birds wouldn’t touch the seed. Now I wasted the money

Is this page still monitored??? I'm having this problem right now ! I need the upsidedown suet feeder and feeder cages!!!

Very helpful and to the point video!

The sunlight shining through that plexi-glass will heat up the inside of that bird house and quickly become too hot inside for chick survival.

I learned so much more than I thought I needed to know 😭

Nicely done. Lots of helpful information.

Is the direction a birdhouse faces significant?

Interesting, thank you for the education.

At my Arkansas country home, the finches will consume sunflower chips,not hearts, b4 touching thistle.After the chips are gone,thistle is next.

Wow! I’m not used to so many useful facts on youtube.

Love this!!

I’d there a website for your store?

Very informative. Thank you!

1,000 per hours. They are doing some serious eating.

I live in Elkhart Indiana. I understand that we should put them facing southeast. Is there any place that would fund housing for bats around here? I want to put up houses, but I don’t have the funding.

Where to buy the cages that will fit over tube feeders? Can Cardinals still get through?

Very informative, thank you!

Great job 👍 short, informative, hits a lot of points without getting lost in the weeds. Thank you!

Thanks!

How long does this take to work? I just hing this owl house.

Great vid

natural methods like owl houses lol

any idears on how to keep the rats from coming and eating the dropped seeds etc that are on the floor

I got a cheap stabilizer with mine. It's two pieces that do not fit together one has a screw but the other does not and no instructions that address how to put the two togther. It's not like the one in the videos

The stabilizer that came with mine has two pieces and there is no way to put them together

Should use 3/4” pvc at 4” each as a backer spacer through which you put 5-7” gutter screws (2 per house sufficient) - need to minimize falling guano from hitting siding; also avoid locating over window or doors.
