Tree swallows prefer houses attached to dead trees. Space Tree Swallow Houses about seven feet apart for these white-bellied birds with iridescent blue-green backs and wings. The ideal setting for these insect-eaters is on the edge of a field near a lake, pond, or river. Violet-green swallows nest in forested mountains of the west; Our Violet-green Swallow Houses placed on large trees in a semi-open woodland will attract them. If you have the right habitat, barn swallows are easy to attract. It's their nesting behavior, not their plumage or song, that catches your attention. Barn swallows tend to nest where you'd rather not have them: on a ledge right over your front door. To avoid a mess by your door, offer them a Barn Swallow Nesting Perch nearby where you'd rather have them.
