I dont think Hummingbirds are cavity nesters, Miss Jessie. They make very small nest in the branches of trees dont they? I could be totally wrong, but thank you, all the same.
@@tomrudd1118 Yes, so i found out after doing sum research on Hummingbird behaviour. I became very interested in Hummingbirds after having ONE little beauty visit my balcony where i have lots of flowers planted. He/she really likes the Nasturtiums i've planted. It's his/her fave. so now i will plant other species that have the most nectar. This is really exciting!
No, it's stained but not toxic. Unstained cedar is perfect and even pine board. The pine should be coated in thin shellac or poly on the outside. Even better, you can buy small sample cans of your favorite house paint colors and just do the outsides. Have the kids paint everything before assembly. Thanks
Thanks so much, very nice and practical birdhouse!
i'm looking 4 ideas on Hummingbird houses & i like your idea & the attractiveness of this. Thank u

Use a wire coat hanger to hang it. Leave the hook intact and cut the rod length to suit your needs. Make eyelets at the ends.
Why use drywall screws that will rust? Stainless steel is the way.
Is that treated wood? Is it harmful to the birds?
