I'm very concerned with the review that stated the house was not deep enough and the baby birds fell out. Has anyone else had this happen?

Hi Susanne, Birder for over 50 years. I bought two of these houses for my wrens and chickadees hoping they would nest. The Wrens checked them out seems they do like them. I purposely kind of hid the house so they be protected and not seen by predators. Well to get to your question have not had opportunity to observe their nesting's, darn I love the little guys.

Hmmm I'm not sure about this. I hung three of them up in and around our property and because birds in the wild will build their nests ANYWHERE, I figure they surely ought to be able to make this custom-built HOUSE work for them. I think it's more or less, up to the birds themselves to build the sticks and twigs INSIDE of this structure so as to hold their little ones.

I wrote a reply to baby birds possibly falling from this little house and after looking at MY houses again, I CAN see how this could happen. I see there are a few other wren houses that might make better choices. Now you've got me wondering if I need to build a safety net UNDER this house. LOL (I think for next year, I'll order the other style that looks bigger and more room for the babies)..... Annie

My suggestion is move it to another spot. I had a whistle feeder that was never used (hung there for 2 months) so I moved it about 30 feet and now have finches on it all the time needing to refill it at least once a week. Have since moved it back closer to my house to see the birds better and they followed and still use it sunrise to sunset. Hope this works for you!

I have several of these raised beds and plan on getting one more; I had no putting them together (and I am no spring chicken!). It was a very easy task. I think "Rogy" is right, and you might have gotten a defective unit. I'd ask for a replacement.

Mine wasn't. Chicken feed was destroyed when it rained. I would have thought maybe we made a mistake and didn't screw it on tight enough, but it happened a second time. Maybe a faulty lid. We have to couch it and find something better for outdoor storage.

I would go back to Amazon or company who made the birdbath.My instructions were burnt up in an apt fire.Mine currently sits on top of 5 Gal bucket of course Im on 1st floor now.Not sure what will happen when I go back to old apt as the bracket for mounting is LONG gone.

Don't have that problem, but it does take birds a few days or a week before they use a new feeder. Perhaps if u r sitting on the porch it scares them away. First put feeder on a branch and slowly bring to porch. They don't like traffic. I have it hanging outside my kit window when I do dishes. They seem to like it under the overhang. Be patient. Parent birds r nesting Good luck. Oh and make sure the see isn't moldy. I opened up a new bag and it was all moldy. The whole shipment was

Look closely to see if ur missing a part. We were missing a flap and ours has never flown correctly. It goes up in the air and then crashes. We had already thrown away the box when we realized it. Sad little girl at this house

They recommend putting down paint tarps. We had our floor pulled up so didn't worry. I don't have an answer if you already have the problem.

I have one of these units on my roof and I still, occasionally see WoodPeckers around my house. That said, I have noted very little, if any Pecker damage in my foam roof since rollout of the device. Its guaranteed! Keep your receipt and box and TRY it! I called the seller and he was very helpful and cordial and told me to try it for a year and if it didn't work, he'd gladly give me a refund. So far, the Ravens have stayed away from the devices using the ultrasonic noise pattern. The detector on the house is in audible and that seems to work against everything else, except pigeons. Only flying lead gets the message across to them -or hawks. I have one of these units on my roof and I still, occasionally see WoodPeckers around my house.

You can try more bedding material (deeper). I have three in the habitat and never had an issue with any leakage. Check for holes or cracks in the material too.

I had pigeons on my roof. It didn't deter them whatsoever. The pigeons crapped all over it so I returned it and got my refund.

I wouldn't know since the bird house I purchased did not stay up on the window due to bad suction cups. After my experience with the bird house, I decided that it's a bad product and not safe for birds. Instead, I am enjoying watching birds go in and out of a standard bird house.

I was worried about the same thing. We have had these out many times and never a problem. I try to sit down in it with it as open as much as possible, not an issue so far.

Do you have water for the bigger birds nearby? I have a hanging birdbath in the tree next to my feeders and have never had any issues. If you are in the southwest like I am, all the animals are suffering from lack of water due to drought right now. They get it anywhere they can. Otherwise, it's better to be replacing the solution more often anyway. It's healthier for the hummers to keep the feeder cleaned and replaced every couple days in the heat anyway. LOTS of bacteria builds in sugar water in the heat which can kill the hummers. The big birds are actually keeping everyone healthier!

We placed ours at outside edge of large picture window, and keep the drape partially closed so they do not see through back. So far have only saw one small bird checking it out but no residents so far. Its a great idea, but I would like to hear from someone who actually has birds actually using the birdhouse.

I would say no. The bird house is all plastic the telescoping pole makes the house stronger and hold together better.
