Birdhouse Care

Your birdhouse is primarily made of wood, which will expand and contract with the weather.
Nature will eventually remove any paint and decorations over time. However, you can make your birdhouse last by maintaining it.
Take it inside at the end of August. Clean out the inside and spray the exterior with clear acrylic sealer, or clear enamel with UV protection.
Place your birdhouse outside, preferably facing East with the least wind exposure. (About the end of March) when birds are nesting.
Place the birdhouse at least head height. To attract birds, add a feeder and water source in the area.
Place a lemon peel inside to repel bird mites. They are like fleas that will invade and irritate birds!
When you bring them in use clear acrylic spray or clear enamel with UV protection to help keep the finish from yellowing and fading the colors.
Gloss Krylon UV-Resistant Clear sealer.
