Has anyone ever had birds nest in their house?

Not yet, it's only been up for few months. I even added one-way Mylar to the plexi-glass back.

I haven't had a problem, my bird feeders hang from the soffits of my roof overhang. I do this to keep the squirrels and raccoons from getting at them.

No there is not. This cage is basically for canaries or finches. There is enough room for a small finch nest to hang inside the cage. There is not a cut out for a nest box. I simply hung a finch nest in the corner of the cage.

I already had a 3 section telescoping pole from an old martin house. I used to have a small flock (6-7 birds) each year until one year a Starling got in and actually killed a male martin right inside his "apartment". After that I think the "young" ones took off and his female stayed around for a few days calling. Eventually she left too. I haven't been able to get martins for 2 yrs now. That is why I invested in THIS box hoping the "door" shape will not allow starlings in. The box went up again this year mid April but no martins yet.

No. I placed it under a tree in my garden and the birds still nest in the tree. The cats are gone.

I just bought mine the middle of this summer and there is no nest, but, I did see a couple wrens checking it out, inside. They decided on one of the woven nest I have. Though there is no nest in it either, they sleep in it every night.

No, you need to purchase a nesting box specifically designed for birds to lay eggs in!

I would say absolutely. I have average sized chickens (not the little bantams) and I have seen two of them in one nesting box before. From what I have seen of homing pigeons, they are smaller than my chickens.

We have never had that problem. Maybe put out water dish nearby for bigger birds?

No I haven't but I do see bigger birds get there head in there and get the seed out. I'm always afraid to scare the birds because I don't want them to get hurt trying to get out but they do just fine.

No they do not. Took little while for small birds to use feeder but use it all the time now.

I was given some by a friend. Pigeons were building nests on my covered patio. Worked beautifully. I put it up in April and they haven't returned.

No, in fact I've had a female Cardinal go in it at times with Gold Finches on the other side. Most of the time my larger birds will go to the other feeders.

I don't know. I haven't had any hummingbirds use my nest maker. I did have a house wren this year. Have been very disappointed.

No, I haven't had any proems at all. We love to bird watch and these have been phenomenal.

Yes, birds will sometimes poop inside this feeder, especially smaller birds, which often like to hop inside and scratch around. (Although, I've even had a dove go in and lay down as though she were nesting :)
