Moving a Bird House

by Scott
(Washington)

Question: I just moved into a new home and brought my old bird house with me. Birds had made a nest in it before, and I want to know if I need to take the old nest out before any new birds will move in?

Answer:
Yes, you should remove the old nest, and clean the birdhouse. Cleanliness is important as like humans, birds can get diseases. They can have parasites, and other infections. You can use vinegar to wash out your birdhouse.

Or there are biodegradable, earth-friendly products that are available for cleaning birdhouses:Bird house cleaners

Hope this helps,
Susan

There is a bird house next to my house. I want to save the birds in it. They are soon going to burn the property down what do you do in that case?

Do you know if there are eggs yet in the nest? Do you know what kind of bird is using the birdhouse?
Do you know how much time before they burn the property?
