The branches of the hummingbird birdhouse are designed to the dimensions that have proven to make nest building in the hummingbird bird house, extremely desirable for the hummingbirds. It also comes with a small bundle of natural cotton for the hummingbird to use in constructing her nest inside humming bird house.
