Nice job. Have you ever had hummingbirds go into them?

Beautiful looking!

Red cedar must attract them, because they’re attracted to red.

I didn’t know they would use a birdhouse.

Nice!

Where do you hang them? In protected, out of the way, places?

Is that hole about 1”?

Would a rectangular house work?

Have you had success with them before?

Does the top come off… for servicing?

Thank you!

Interesting, I thought they liked the protected open top in a V branch. What is the hole size and the dimensions?
