birdhouses
Backyard nesting boxes
Birdhouses are small structures designed to provide nesting sites for birds, typically mounted on poles or hung from trees.
They have an entrance hole sized for specific species and a cavity where birds can lay eggs and raise young.
Building and placing birdhouses is a common backyard hobby: We put up birdhouses to attract bluebirds.
