We used to have a birdhouse on a tree in full view of a bay window (now converted to 3 regular windows).
I was amazed to see the sparrows that were nesting (and year-round tenants) fly back to the house with their beaks full of flying insects, mostly mosquitos.
Since then, I keep the birds supplied with ample housing opportunities so that they can stay and feed in our yard.
