If you are already offering "board" to your backyard birds by providing them with seed and suet at feeder stations, you may also enjoy giving them "room" in the form of a cozy birdhouse, or nest box. In doing so, you will be helping out cavity-nesting birds who might otherwise have a hard time finding a good nesting spot in your yard. Many species found in South Carolina are cavity nesters, including chickadees, titmice, wrens, and woodpeckers. Birds will typically begin looking for a safe place to hatch and raise their young in the spring.
