Birdhouse to attract Hummingbirds
Mimi made this super cute Birdhouse. All she needed was paint and a cute door knob.
This week we learned a little bit about birds and colors that attract them. Did you know?
A bird will be attracted to the color of flowers or food it feeds on and also to it's own color.
Red and Pink will attract Hummingbirds.
Orange for Orioles, hummingbirds.
Yellow for Goldfinches, warblers, hummingbirds.
Blue for Bluebirds and jays.
Gray, brown, black and dark green are wonderful for timid birds like doves, quail and other ground feeders.
White should be avoided as it scares birds away and means for them "Danger or predator".

Interesting that white is the danger color. Good to know.
Those are darling birdhouses, and I never knew they didn't like white.
What a pretty house! I love the knob too. They both have a gypsy feel to them.

Thanks for the trivia. Didn't know birds don't like white. No wonder their houses are so colorful.
