How long does it usually take for birds to move i nto the house

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.

This house is for nesting.... which I have had birds in it 1/2 hour after I put it up.... think I have had about 3 sets of babies in there so far..... Also have birds using it in the Winter here in Canada

Nope! My birds like to chew on the house and gradually, they are making pieces disappear. They love the house but they are cockatiels and a parakeet. It is like a small tree and a bird that large will take bigger pieces off. The cage is great for birds but not if they can take pieces off.

Probably! Just give it a few weeks. It took a few weeks for the goldfinches to locate our feeder.

Its really far to small for that, to be honest. We used it to raise our new chicks till they were large enough to be with the others. We had only three and moved them at around 16 weeks. It has maybe a three foot by two foot space to be outside. You would need to move it at least everyday if not twice a day.

Yep...I've kept two birds in this cage very happily. However, they should be able to come out and roam around some at least every day. They like to climb up little ladders to get back and forth. Let them roam around your house, too. Just make sure the doors and windows are closed and no dogs or cats can get them. If you only feed them in the cage, they will always come back to it.

It depends on whether the wind is blowing and what the motion sensor detects. I would say about 16 days or more if the wind isn't blowing things around. :)

No! I finally took my house down to keep them out. Had a pair of bluebirds check out the house 2 weeks ago but they've not come back. Thoroughly disappointed. I am in Illinois.

It has stayed up on the window. Mom thinks that perhaps it got up too late for the birds this year. I think it will work. I had a birdhouse in the back of my house and it took 2 years before I could get a "renter". Hope that helps!

That depends on how much your chickens want to modify it, our pads stay in there about 5 to 6 weeks per nesting, every couple of days we shake them clean and put a lots of clean pine shavings on top , the pine shaving do help. They really do help keep the nesting area clean

We have had ours up since April and have had some activity, but not inside the box where it should be. I bird built a nest on the top of the box, kind of funny. He was a larger bird so I am sure they could not get inside the house. Other then that nothing inside, hoping for some activity next spring.

The strength of the motor is not relevant to protecting your chickens at the door opening. When the motor is triggered to go, it will slowly lower the door with gravity doing the work. The motor does make noise as it goes which hopefully alerts the chickens to move. If the chicken does not move, the weight of the door itself is what you need to be looking at to determine if it will harm the chicken. The door takes about 8 seconds to close.

Nope. However to date I've not seen any little bird skeletons in the house so it seems they're able to make their way out OK.

Jennifer, It will vary from species to species but in general, 4-7 days for an average nests. Now if the nest is unusually large or networked with lots of satellite colonies, it could take 1-2 weeks. Cheers, Jonathan Customer Care U-Spray Bugspray

I didn't notice any difference in activity, even with the feeder that is close to a window. Most of my feeders are around the edge of the deck or just beyond it. I do not feed during the summer since I'm told it's better to have them find food on their own, so I don't have as many birds close by now as I did earlier.

I would say the chances are very good that the blue birds will not make it into this house before other small birds. We put up a different kind, and had BLUEBIRDS the next day. Put this one same day, and husband cleaned it out 2 times because of the other small birds. He finally just gave up and let them have it this year.

I just mounted the nester a couple of weeks ago and do not expect any activity until Spring. I'll report around that time if there is any activity. The instructions that came with the nester said to have a hummingbird feed within at least 18 feet, which I plan to do. The feeder will be a location I've been using with success, so I'm hopeful the hummingbirds will find the nest.
