You haven't gotten to clean up a birdhouse in your garden since the summer? Go ahead so quickly. Maybe, like me, you'll wonder what you'll find in it.
Winter is not much this year, so we somehow neglected the wintering of the garden. Thus, pots with geraniums safely sit in the attic under the window, and what was needed, we honestly covered it with lust. But we didn't give much cleaning. It wasn't until this week that we finally decided to clean the birdhouses properly, and we couldn't help but wonder.
As good gardeners, we like bird tenants. They've got a few wills with us. We want them to like them and collect harmful insects in our garden. He tries most at nesting time, when he has to feed the young. But birds are quite demanding tenants. They don't want to go into a dirty and former resident's booth. So it's a good idea to throw away all those twigs, fluff, animal hair and feathers after each season and disinfect the box, for example. savem or other disinfectant.Maybe you'll wave your hand at it, that if they need it, the birds will move to the old place. Just so they have a place to…

With the box it can be like a favorite catchphrace from the short story Šimka and Grossman: I sat alone in a crowded coupe. When we got to the cleaning this week, we finally knew why we had the feeling in the summer that hornets were still swarming around the cottage and there was no chatting anywhere. Although experts say they rarely move into the booth, it happened to us. There was literally a three-story horne nest stuffed in the booth. If we'd left the booth like that, no one would have been in it anymore. So I advise all those who are in the same place to postpone things for later to inspect their booths, clean it nicely and possibly fix it a little.
With booths and birds, it's actually kind of a business. A lot of our bird species need a tree cavity for their nest, and they won't pick it themselves. But there are fewer and fewer suitable trees with cavities. And at this point, our artificial cavities, i.e. birdhouses, are very useful to them. They'll reward us for that. For the garden, both seme-eating and insectivorous birds are a blessing. The seed-eating weed seeds, and the others are on the line for pests. When they are young, almost everyone collects insects. For example, your favorite tic-tingling, straw or starling can move in.
