Hello, I am a total newbie here. A few years ago the wife and I purchased a 2.5 acre parcel of property in a semi rural area, half of which was covered in brush (mostly invasive species). I have since cleared the brush and planted desirable trees and grass, in hopes of creating a natural and scenic retreat for our retirement years.
The wife found a decorative bird house at a craft fair that she said would like nice in the stand of Aspen trees. This is our very first bird house! A very small bird has taken up residence there, which I am very excited about. I believe the bird is a House Wren (see attached pics).
I would like put up more bird houses, and hopefully attract a Bluebird or two. I read the the House Wren may not take kindly to having close by neighbors. Any advice on how far to keep the bird houses apart?
