Birdhouses

A few squirrels visits my garden regularly but so far, they haven't caused any problems. I'm not 100% sure of it but I don't think they are stealing bird's food...we have 2 big walnut trees so they have more walnuts than they're able to eat
Here are some pictures of pretty birdhouses, I love looking at them:

I love birdhouses! Thanks to all for sharing their clever creations! I had trouble with the squirrels getting into my feeders too and put up a platform feeder with lower grade seed for them. The other feeders I used baffles and put petroleum jelly on the poles. Its a riot to watch the little hairballs take a flying leap and go sliding down the pole!

I have to deal with squirrels too, we have a lot of them in our garden. They love our walnut trees
Putting petroleum jelly on poles sounds like a rally good idea!

Check this out, it's a cute, edible birdhouse:

I should say, birdhouses make the yard/garden look cozy.

Do the birds really go inside the houses?

'Nesting boxes' is a more accurate description, I have one on the fence post and blue tits make their nest in it every year, but they don't 'live' there. It's great seeing the adults coming and going with food and knowing the baby birds have hatched. my friend has a row of them with slightly larger holes that are used by sparrows, they like nesting near each other.
