Please make sure that your birdhouse is installed well before the breeding season begins. Don’t be discouraged if birds don’t start nesting in it quickly; sometimes it takes a little while for birds to discover the nest box.
In the south, place your nest box by February.
In northern regions, place your nest box by mid to late March.
Attention:
• Make sure you can open the small front door for cleaning each season.
• Remove or omit perches on the birdhouse. They’re not necessary and can attract unwanted pest birds.
• Keep the birdhouse entrance hole to a maximum of 1.3 inches to prevent nesting birds from startling.
• In general nest boxes can be mounted higher than when mounted on a fence post. It can prevent some predators from climbing.
Golf courses, cultivated fields, gardens, and backyards are potentially good habitats for nest boxes, but avoid areas where pesticides and herbicides are used. Those are not only harmful to birds, they decrease and sometimes eliminate the insect populations that are the primary food source for many cavity-nesting species.

Ugh Not an eleven dollar birdhouse. More like a three dollar birdhouse. It appears to have been assembled by a blind, drunk monkey.
Three Stars I thought it would be larger.
