Late Summer and Early Fall Birdhouses
There is no bad time to hang a birdhouse
And the best time to hang one up is as soon as you purchase one!
Late summer and into early fall are ideal times to put a birdhouse in your yard. This is before the breeding season and give the birds plenty of time to locate the birdhouse. Some birds may investigate the house, learn where it is and possibly use it as shelter. If you cannot get your birdhouse in place by fall, it should be in place as early in the winter as possible. When the cold winter season sets in your edible birdhouse will provide food and shelter for your feathered friends.
Seeing Birds Better in the Winter
As the leaves start to drop and the trees get bare, I get a chance to see all the birds in my garden even better than at other times of the year. While the garden may not look the same, my bird house garden is as lively and joyful as ever. I keep birdhouses in every corner of my property and this is the time of the year that I enjoy birdhouse gardening to its fullest. Wrens, finches, blue jays, and chickadees buzz around my edible birdhouse nibbling and resting in their homes. I love to watch them dart from tree to branch and get extra nourishment from the birdfeeder ornament in my yard. Nothing makes me feel more joyful than knowing I’m keeping an entire community of creatures alive and warm in my backyard birdhouse garden.
Enjoy Edible Birdhouse Gardening

Who doesn’t love birdhouse gardening?
Its not difficult to do!! At times gardening can be overwhelming and lots of work– weeding, planting, transplanting, bug management and on it goes. Birdhouse gardening is little work for a lot of joy! Strategically place a few birdhouses in the garden, make sure some are edible birdhouses so they don’t need to be filled up again and again and then sit back and watch! Grab binoculars and field guide book to identify unique birds and take in all the theatrics. You are now birdhouse gardening. Remember to keep seeds varied for all types of birds which can be purchased at local home and garden stores or online at ediblebirdhouses.com. An added bonus, edible birdhouses look beautiful whether they have seeds on them or not, but keep it seeded all year long for seasonal enjoyment in your birdhouse garden.
