PREPARE HOMES FOR BIRDS

be necessary to go aloft for site.
raise the house about four feet above
the roof. You may provide as many
apartments in your martin house as
you wish. The birds live in colonies,
and as a matter of fact with the mar
tin 1t seems to be case OF the more
the merrier. Have each compartment
about seven inches from front to rear.
at least six inches high and five inches
in width The entrance hole, prefer
ably, should be made midway between
the top and bottom Of the front, and II
should be about the size Of a silver
half-dollar.
Persons who have yard room and
some shrubbery can get the wren ana
the bluebird as neighbors II they Will
make little preparation for tnem.
The wren will nest in almost any KIND
Of box, but of course he likes to have
things well arranged. A small key
such as anchovies are sometimes
packed in makes a good wren home. A
wren Is mite of a creature. but he
likes considerable room, and his apart.
ment should be slightly larger than
that provided for the martin. Do not
expect, however. two pairs OF wrens
to live in the same box. even though
1t be divided into compartments. They
won't, or II they do they'll be so busy
fighting that they'll forget to lay eggs.
Make the entrance hole into the
wren home midway between the top
and bottom OF one end Of the box or
key. Make it exactly the size of a
silver quarter. II you do this the wren
is safe from the attacks OF the blue
bird and English sparrow.
1t is nothing short of cruelty per.
haps to give the wren too big box
for his home.
The bird doesn't need 1t, and the
perch affords resting place for the
English sparrow. who can get his head
through the entrance and do some mis-.
chief, even though his body Is too big
to follow. II you don't like music, In.
cessant music. don't invite the wren
to be neighbor. He will sing from
