Right off the bat I learned that baby birds can choke on peanuts AND that birds can get their beaks glued shut with suet. The things that have escaped me are astounding.
and you should soak bread and dried fruit before feeding.
I liked these bird houses a lot. The idea that appeals most to me is that the birds could use these for winter shelter with a little clean straw inside.
I was hoping my husband would want to build some for me, but he didn't!
