A Place to Raise Young

A more specific kind of cover is needed for raising young.  Dense shrubbery and trees provide a safe haven for many animal species.  Bird houses or nesting shelves can provide homes and a place to build a nest.

Trees and shrubs provide areas for courtship and nest building	Bird houses provide a place for  cavity nesters to build a home for their young.
Nesting boxes are often sought after for keeping warm on a cold winter night.	Nesting boxes are not only for the birds.

When creating a wildlife habitat don't forget to provide places to sit and watch the show.
