Organic Dairyman: Birdhouses

by Tricia

A long string of pink bird houses line the Bansen dairy farm.

Not merely for decoration, these bird houses provide nesting grounds for the swallows that feed on flies, using nature to control insect pests naturally.

    You can ask, but I …
    You can ask, but I may not have the answer(!!), PropagandaBuster. At about 30 seconds in, look close, the latch is 2 nails on each side, bent over and swiveled out of the way to take off the front. At around 55 seconds in you can see him swivel them into place. Now the hole, my guess is that is less than 2″ in diameter. I’d suggest googling what size hole swallows like in their nesting ‘boxes’. Hope this helps a bit. Good luck, if you decide to make one. Will you paint it pink!?
