An entrance to a barn invites swallows, robin, phoebes and Carolina wrens to nest. Best friend a farmer can have is a nesting bar owl, since a family of 7 requires 100 rats, mice and small vermin daily. The entrance hole on the bird houses vary in size, so it is an important factor when encouraging a certain species to nest. The roof should be hinged for easy cleaning in February with a biodegradable detergent to kill lice, mites or other vermin. You will find when you have nesting birds on your property, you will have an abundance of song to enjoy.
