Bird Habitat

Bird Habitat – Where Do Birds Nest?

Common Bird Habitats in the Wild

Birds need to live somewhere, and where they build their homes is key. In places in nature, birds pick different spots to put their nests. Here’s where they like to stay:

Trees & Shrubs – Birds such as robins and sparrows adore building nests in the parts of trees or in thick bushes. This helps keep them safe from things that might want to eat them.

Cliffs & Rock Ledges – Swallows are very important worry-causing birds; they choose high-up places on rocks or cliffs to live. This is because they can see better and keep safe up there.

Urban and Suburban Adaptations

Raccoons think it’s really easy to live in cities and towns because people leave out a large amount of tasty things for them, such as trash and leftover pet food. You might even find them sleeping in parts of your house or nearby, such as where you store things or under your porch.

Bird Habitats Around Homes

Attics & Soffits – If there’s a little open space, birds might come in and decide it’s a good spot. 

Chimneys – Some birds think that chimneys are a good location that’s analogous to the holes in trees, but this can make it hard for the fire smoke to get out. This can destroy the air moving around and sometimes even start a fire.

Vents & Ducts – Birds could go to places like little vents or parts where there’s an open way to the attic.

Rooflines, gutters, barns, garages, & sheds are all locations around your home birds may find a place to nest in.

Preventing Bird Infestations

Birds coming into our spaces can break things and make us sick. Sometimes birds can be pretty positive for nature, but they may potentially also mess up your house in several ways, like:

• Blocked vents – Blocking where the air comes out, and that could start a fire or keep air from moving.
  

• Droppings and nesting debris – Making holes or marks in your house, or their poop can burn things because it’s analogous to acid.
  

• Damage to structures – you could put up special covers over the air holes or top of your chimney, and bird barriers. And note to check your house a lot and close up any spots where birds could sneak in.
