Tree Swallow nest box, bird house, Kits for kids, insect control
Description
Tree swallows are attractive backyard birds for several reasons. Their graceful, aerobatic, energetic flight can be a joy to watch as they swoop about, and their glossy plumage glitters in the sunlight. They are relatively quiet species and while their song is typically musical and chirping.
The most desirable characteristic of Tree swallows is their voracious appetites for insects. These insectivorous birds can consume hundreds of insects every day, and inviting a family of them into the backyard can provide exceptional (and free!) pest control. Feeds on many flies, beetles, winged ants, and others. Also eats some spiders, and will eat sand fleas (which are crustaceans).
Most of the bird houses available in the stores are more for decoration and not up to the standards for habitation of Tree Swallows. They are too small and this could lead to stress, overheating in the summer and death of the young birds.
This Tree Swallow Houses are pine wood.
I wood burn the most of the bird houses to make them more attractive for my customers to hang them in their backyard and I also can add some personal notes like: HAPPY BIRTHDAY or BEST MOM or special date if you would like to use it as a present.
EXTRA: For $1 extra - you can purchase a bag of white feathers from my hens. Tree swallows are very attracted by white feathers, which they use for bedding. They fly miles for one of them, like some women for a gucci handbag.
For our little bird friends - I also have building kits available with instruction, necessary tools and accessories.
If you would like to order and get them shipped - no problem - I give you the quote of shipping to your requested destination and this amount will be added to the purchase price.
Payments can be completed per PayPal or EMT (Electronic Money Order).
This Bird houses also available in the CO-OP Farm & Garden Store and the Made in Nova Scotia Store in Antigonish and the St. Mary's River Museum in Sherbrooke.
