Building Habitats for Birds List of Birds That Live in Bird HousesMany bird species live and raise their young in tree cavities. Other species weave nests in tree branches ,in reeds and bushes. However, when the cavity-nesters are unable to find natural nesting locations, it is these species that readily adopt man-made bird houses, also known as nest boxes.Over the past one hundred years land development and harvesting of forests have displaced prime breeding habitats for cavity nesters. Bird houses that we put up can help in maintaining populations of many birds at healthy levels. A single wooden bird house can have a long life -- ten years is ordinary, and such a house may fledge 50 birds during that time. Providing a place for birds to raise their young rounds out a bird-friendly habitat that provides water, food and shelter. It is also gratifying to witness the courtship, nesting and fledging of birds, a crucial part of their life cycle. Each cavity nester listed below is linked to just the right field tested bird house.
