Where to put your birdhouse
Generally, birdhouses should:
-be mounted eight feet or higher from the ground
-have an opening that faces away from prevailing winds
-look out over as wide open an area as possible

If your hobbyists' skill-set is more bird-watcher than box-builder, you can always buy a readymade birdhouse, such as the NABS-approved eastern bluebird box and 17 other BSC-endorsed models from Quebec-based Junco Technologies.
