Instructions:
Simply hang the bird house outside (leather lanyard included) in early spring. Place the house under an eve or anywhere that is out of the rain, wind and sun (and where you can watch them). You can leave a few pieces of lint nearby, but not inside the house. There is no guarantee a bird will use the house the first year (there are no guarantees with any birdhouse), but if they do build a nest, hatch-lings return the next year. Take it down during the winter months (it makes a great ornament!) and clean out using tweezers. (Instructions will come with your bird house). Good luck!
