  
Put chickadee houses at eye level
in a wooded yard. Hang them from limbs or secure them to tree
trunks. The entrance hole should be 1-1/8" to attract
chickadees yet exclude house sparrows. Anchor houses for hatches
on tree trunks five to six feet off the ground. You can encourage
these birds to stay in your yard by continuing to fill your suet
and peanut feeders through the summer.
