Best bird houses: what to look for before you buy
A buying checklist for bird houses, with what eBay buyers actually paid. We do not stock this type, so the advice is not steering you to our own product.
Match the entrance hole to the species you want, not the look of the box. Untreated wood, a hinged cleanout and drainage matter more than paint or roof shape.
On 2026-11-01, eBay buyers paid a median of $27.72 for bird houses (search "bird house"), across 1,400 sold listings. It is a market read, not a quote. Jump to the search shortcuts or read the 7 checks first.

What to look for: 7 checks
These are the points that separate a good bird houses from a poor one, in the order they usually matter.
- Entrance hole diameterabout 2.9 cm suits wrens and chickadees, 3.8 cm suits bluebirds. A hole that is too large lets starlings and sparrows take over.
- Floor size and deptha floor around 10 by 10 cm with 15 cm from hole to floor suits small songbirds. Shallow boxes let nestlings be reached from outside.
- Wood and thicknessuntreated cedar or pine at least 1.5 cm thick insulates against heat and cold. Thin plywood warps and splits within a season.
- Cleanout accessa side or front panel that swings open on a screw or pin lets you clear old nests each year.
- Drainage and airflowsmall holes in the floor and a gap under the roof let rain out and warm air escape.
- Perchskip it. A perch hands predators and house sparrows a foothold, and cavity nesters do not need one.
- Mountinga rear plate with screw holes, or a pole mount, keeps the box steady in wind.
The mistake to avoid
- Brightly painted, perched, multi-room boxes are made to look good on a shelf. Birds want a plain, dark, single-chamber cavity.

On 2026-11-01, eBay buyers paid a median of $27.72 for bird houses (search "bird house"), across 1,400 sold listings. That is real money changing hands on eBay, which makes it a useful anchor when you compare asking prices elsewhere.
How to read it: the count is the sold-result total eBay shows for a search of sold and completed listings, and the median is from the first page of prices (about 60 listings, new and used mixed). It is not an Amazon price, it ignores shipping and condition, and it does not say what a given product is worth. A different spec will sit well above or below it.

Questions
Where should I hang a bird house?
Two to four metres up, facing away from the prevailing wind, with a clear flight path to the entrance and some shade in the afternoon.
When do I clean it out?
Late autumn or winter, after nesting is over. Remove old nest material and let the box dry before spring.
