A HANDMADE METAL BIRD HOUSE IS FOR DECORATIVE PURPOSES ONLYWhen spring arrives, it is fun to look out in your yard and think of putting up a bird house to attract your feathered friends. The whole family can take pleasure in watching how birds play and work and live. When you are considering what kind of bird house to make or buy, please remember that either store bought or a handmade metal bird house is not a good choice.
A Handmade Metal Bird House is Dangerous for Birds
Even in the shade, a metal bird house can heat up and become blistering hot so that even by landing on it a bird could be injured or killed. So a handmade metal bird house is a terrible choice. Granted they can make fancy birdhouses but only for your visual pleasure not for a birds home.
In additional to a handmade metal bird house getting very hot, it can also have sharp edges which could also hurt a bird. A bird could poke, cut or just plain hurt itself on an edge. So stay away from metal bird houses.
Again, not only does a metal bird house have they capacity to burn the birds with extreme heat build-up and the metal edges could cut a bird, but a handmade metal bird house could rust when exposed to moisture. Most metals when left outdoors will rust or tarnish creating possible toxins for the birds let alone become an eyesore to your landscape.
Which One - Wood or Metal? When building a bird house for your yard no metal of any kind including nails should be used. Birds and metal are not good together. So if you are building a bird house you should use wood and put it together with wood glue. If you want your backyard bird to be safe, then stay away from metal. A handmade metal bird house can make a beautiful decoration on the interior of your house where it will not rust. As an example the placement of blue bird house is secondary to the materials the house is made. So use the right materials and your birds will be very happy birds indeed. |
