Do these types of birdhouses attract birds that eat greenhead flies at the jersey shore bay areas . Thats what I was told and thats why I would make them.I live there and those maneaters, (the flies i mean) ruin our days down there.

But the twig perch is the cutest part! You’re right that the birds won’t need it, though. I suspect that in my garden, it will be solely for decorative purposes anyway – the only birds around here are your typical urban scroungers: pigeons, crows and seagulls!

Except for the twig perch, I think it’s adorable. But the birds that inhabit this bird house won’t need it. It’s only useful for predators to perch upon and… well, you can guess the rest… Don’t mean to rain on the birdhouse building party. By all means, groove on, just, no twig perch, s’il vous plait.
