what to do

01. SOIL UP

Pollinator-Friendly: Birds nest below, pollinators feast above.

02. SEED STRIKE

Throw down wildflower seeds like you mean it.

03. SMASH + PRESS

Scatter and press ‘em in. No digging.

04. SPRAY AND WAIT

Mist lightly. Don’t drown ‘em.

Birdhouse Wall Mounting

Drill a hole in a solid wall at a minimum height of about 2–3 m (6–10 ft), insert the yellow plastic plug, then drive the long screw through. Place the birdhouse by attaching the hanger on Part C to the long screw.

Note: When mounting your birdhouse, choose a spot away from feeders, and keep at least 1.5–2 m (5–6.5 ft) of clear space from side branches, and 30–50 cm (1–1.5 ft) of clear space above the house. Avoid any ledges or branches that predators could use to reach it.

TREE MOUNTING

Take a strong garden wire. Wrap it around the tree trunk at the height where you want the birdhouse. Thread it through the metal hanger on the back of the birdhouse. Pull the wire tight so the birdhouse sits snugly against the tree (no swinging). Make sure it’s straight and slightly tilted forward so rain won’t go inside.

Moderate. Sensitive to extreme heat and drought.

Place in partial shade if your afternoons get very hot to prevent wilting.

Consistent moisture is key; check daily during warmer weeks.

Low. Tougher and more heat-tolerant than their pansy cousins.

They love bright morning sun but prefer cooling afternoon shade.
