Hummingbirds?
July 9, 2010 Bird House Feeder
I live in Indiana and in the summer ( or maybe spring) , some hummingbirds come to the feeder. I read an article in this magazine called " Birds & Blooms) and it said about these hummingbirds building nests in strange places, like ropes and windchimes. In the summer or spring , if I place a tiny little bird house ( because they check out anything my mom puts out there) will they lay eggs in it if they are interested in the birdhouse? Or it is not their egg-laying season yet in the summer, in Indiana?

Hummingbirds are fun, entertaining, full of energy and it’s easy to attract hummingbirds.
Hummingbirds are not cavity nesters..so no, they will not use a bird house. You can attract them to your yard by putting up a hummingbird feeder, and if you have colorful flowers blooming in your garden. If there is a food source nearby, they may nest somewhere in your yard. They will not began to breed/nest until around March when they return from their winter migration. Here is more info on the species you get in Indiana:
