Decorative Bird Houses: Shelters for Our Garden Birds
There are two main characteristics for your
decorative bird house to be occupied: the size of the birdhouse and the size/location of the entrance hole.Indeed, the
decorative bird house must be able to accommodate a large brood that can count up to a dozen chicks for some tits! Knowing that in the end, they are all big enough to fly away! They therefore need the necessary space, and a good-sized and well-placed entrance for their safety.

Our experience with birds has allowed us to manufacture
bird houses for different species with all the characteristics necessary for great success. (Birdhouses made in France, using French wood in our carpentry workshop!)To attract blue tits, marsh tits, or crested tits, your

decorative bird house for tits will have a diameter of 34mm.
