Birdhouses

Thinking about adding a fun detail to the garden without spending a lot of money? How about adding a birdhouse? Here are a few I've seen while out and about.

I don't know if birds actually use bird houses, but I have seen them pushing twigs into them. Perhaps they are preparing a cozy resting place or a back-up nest (just in case).

Rustic birdhouses like this one are placed throughout the Gentleman's Orchard at Filoli in Woodside, California. The birds they attract may help manage insects that could damage crops.
