Chickadee Bird House Plans: Adorable Bird Houses to Build
Since chickadees don't migrate, building nesting boxes is a great way to keep them warm and safe all year long. Chickadees typically find homes in decaying stump crevasses, so building a rustic birdhouse with old, used lumber is a good way to provide them with a safe and dry alternative. Once you've finished your chickadee birdhouse, remember to mount it between 6-feet and 15-feet
high, as they don't like to be too near the ground. Since they eat both seeds and insects, a bird
feeder is also a welcome way to encourage these sturdy little neighbors to stay awhile. Click on the picture above to view the
