Bird House...anyone build one?

[tallyhotel]

I built one and so far....nothing has happened. wondering if there is something I've done wrong with placement? I did build it near to my base, so that could be the issue. Didn't want to waste mats on building a second one if they are just buggy at the moment. I built it on Day 1 and I'm on Day 5 of this play through, and still....nothing. I can't even interact with the Bird House in any way since building it.

I have built a couple. Just keep an eye on it and birds of all kinds will land on the nest. Easy shooting. Also, every so often you will get a "Take" notification when looking up at nest, will be bird eggs to loot.

[Lakota Pride]

Don't forget to restock after looting the eggs, it takes seeds.. which is a rare drop sad to say.. should be able to harvest seeds from your plant crops your growing :/

[tallyhotel]

I tore the other one down, built a new one, and still, nothing! I can't interact with it at all! I see birds flying all around it, none land. :(

Same

They do land, it takes a while before they do. Slow way to get eggs and ducks...

[浮浪]

is it because I build it too high? I have no interaction option when I look at the nest

[Wiggles]

I don't think so. Just don't leave it too close to where you run / interact, since it'll scare the birds away. They land on it for a short period and eat the seed while leaving an egg. You can run up to it and take the egg from the nest by moving your mouse / camera towards it, just like picking up small stone on the ground...

This is very strange.

Bird Houses are non-interactable for me. I can repair them if damaged but there's no other interaction I can see.

I've built them at varying heights in different areas and its the same thing.

So there's no way for me to fill it with seeds, loot eggs, etc. And I've never seen a bird near one yet.

Same as you. I build 3 bird house, different place, still have no egg after few days.

[RandoM51]

I built 8 of them, 100% worthless. You'll get an egg faster simply cutting down shrubs. Most of the time they didn't have any birds and if they did have a bird it was a trash bird like pigeons/sparrow/raven. No ducks, owls, or eagles.

[FuturistDreamer]

I've built a couple. I try to put them off to the side of my base, so I can reach them. They're good if you're trying to make the higher foods that require them. Not really necessary for the storyline though.

Same for me : nothing happens in the nest and no bird comes along

[Maconijnr]

I have 3 and have no issues with them they work just fine :)
What stops them working is building them too close to your base, I noticed this as I expanded my base and got closer to the bird houses, they stopped working so I just broke them down and rebuilt them further away again and problem solved :)
As already been stated if you are constantly around them, then the birds don't land on them, eggs yes they are rare in them, mainly for me it's because I kill the birds before they have time to lay the egg lol
For interacting with the birdhouse, if you have no birds landing and laying eggs then you won't need to interact with it because the seeds won't have been used.
You only have to replenish the seeds after you have taken an egg from them :)
Eagles are huge and rare but will land on them and take normally 2 arrows to kill
Owls appear every few days usually around dusk or dawn for me.

I have two and they do nothing at all... built them a bit away from my base.
No Birds are flying to it or sitting on it... never got an Egg.

I built some, I have got some eggs. But later I can't get any one. Because every time I saw bird on the nest I always shoot them off, and then...I guess that why I can't get any egg again.
