Tipy na zavesenie vtáčej búdky na váš dvor alebo záhradu
Ako bezpečne zavesiť domček pre vtáky
Hanging a birdhouse can turn any backyard into a nesting bird's paradise. But it's not as simple as you might think. To properly and safely mount a birdhouse, there are restrictions and recommendations you should take into account.
While there are many reasons to hang a birdhouse in your garden or yard, perhaps none is as important as compensating for rampant habitat loss. The American Bird Conservancy has designated habitat loss as the biggest contributor to declining bird populations. Due to urbanization, deforestation, logging, draining of swamps and more, many nesting birds are finding there just aren't enough natural habitats to call home.
That's where you come in. By properly mounting a birdhouse, you'll not only beautify your outdoor space, but you'll also create a safe space for local birds to nest and take it easy.
Nesting birds are the same as the average house shopper. They're all about location, location, location. To attract birds to the houses you've so carefully chosen for them, you'll need to be whip-smart about where you place them.
In this article, we'll reveal precisely how--and where--to hang a birdhouse correctly. We will help you select the best location in your yard for mounting birdhouses, and provide all the tips and tricks you need to encourage birds to settle down and nest. We will also detail precisely how to screw a birdhouse onto a variety of services, including more difficult ones, like trees.
1. Vtáčie domčeky držte ďalej od kŕmidiel pre vtáky, kúpeľov

In general, you'll want a birdhouse that is far away from any other bird feeder or bird bath on your property. While it may seem cute to provide the birds with a resort-like area with all these amenities in one place, it only increases the risk of predators in their home. Please make sure there is a fair amount of distance between baths, feeders and bird houses.
Potrebujete presné pokyny? Zatiaľ čo niektoré zdroje odporúčajú 6 alebo 7 stôp, iné tvrdia, že najlepšia je vzdialenosť 30 plus ft. Čím väčšiu vzdialenosť dokážete poskytnúť, tým lepšie.
2. Vyberte oblasť s-nízkou premávkou
No offense, but nesting birds want to be where the people (and predators!) aren't. The quieter, calmer and lower-traffic the area, the better. Please take some time to survey your outdoor space when choosing a location for your birdhouse.
Do you walk by often? Does the gardener trim that tree weekly? Does your Goldendoodle burn off his energy playing fetch nearby? These are all reasons to pass on a certain location! After all, you aren't just placing a piece of decor. You're creating a real habitat for birds that truly need it.
Of course, you'll need to do a bit of research if you wish to attract specific species of birds. Purple martins and bluebirds, for example, don't mind exposure. But most birds do prefer a private space away from all the action.

3. Vstupný otvor tvárou oproti prevládajúcim vetrom
Ďalšia dôležitá úvaha pri rozhodovaní, kam zavesiť vtáčiu búdku: vietor! Uistite sa, že vstupný otvor vašej búdky nečelí prevládajúcim vetrom.
Mnoho ľudí v Spojených štátoch má rado, aby ich vtáčie búdky smerovali na východ, čo je zvyčajne oproti silnému vetru a intenzívnemu popoludňajšiemu slnku.
4. Vyberte si ideálnu výšku
When it comes to hanging birdhouses, one hard-and-fast rule is elevation. Your birdhouse must be at least 5 feet above ground. This protects vulnerable birds from most ground-roaming predators. There's no need to go above 12 feet high: birds don't want to live in the penthouse!

Možno budete chcieť prispôsobiť výšku vašej búdky pre prilákanie určitých druhov vtákov. Napríklad päť stôp je ideálna výška na prilákanie vrások, brhlíkov a chickadees. Preferujete fialové martinky? Skúste 10 až 15 stôp. Modré vtáky? 6 stôp by malo stačiť.
Iné výšky priťahujú iné druhy vtákov, preto si urobte malý prieskum o správnej nadmorskej výške vašej búdky.
