It is better to build birds houses of wood because wood is more natural. If you are making bird houses with wood remember to  coat the bird house walls with decay resistant coating. If decay resistant coating is not applied the entire bird house would be damaged easily.

Some birds prefer certain kinds of houses only. There are many predators that can harm
birds nest like snakes, squirrels, cats etc... When we place a bird house make sure it is placed at a comfortable height for birds. Also we should know which type of birds we are trying to attract with our bird house. This is because the entrance hole sizes and height of bird house differ for different birds.

Birds always looks for a secured place for nesting. Try to trim shrubbery near the bird house, remove food for predators, cover compost piles etc. to discourage the predators from invading the bird house. Some of the bird house predators are cats, snakes, rats, opossums, chipmunks etc. We can also use hole restrictors, long tube entrances, longer roof size, metal baffles and predator repellents to keep away the predators from the bird houses.
