BIRDS DON'T LIKE NEW BRIGHT WOOD
Farm and Fireside says:

u Farm and Fireside says
Martins, bluebirds and wrens do not take kindly
to houses made of new bright wood. Their instincts
lead them to prefer the places which nearly re-
sembe the insides Of decayed trees in which their
ancestors have nestled from time immemoria. Build
your birdhouses to suit the birds, rather than to
please your own tastes"
