Different types of birds are attracted to different kinds of birdhouses. Wrens and finches are one of the only species that tolerate a swinging nest box. Chickadees and Tree Swallows will use them on occasion.
The hanging/swinging bird houses are to be suspended ideally from a tree branch. Houses that are hung from a tree give a feeling of comfort and security to the birds. Be careful though that the hanging birdhouse is located in a place which is safe from predators like raccoons, snakes, opossums, fire ants, cats and so on. Proper location of your hanging birdhouse will attract birds to inhabit it.
Birds that are comfortable in a swinging birdhouse prefer an open field or a large backyard that does not have much vegetation. If you listen closely, you may hear the mothers singing a lullaby while swinging their little ones to sleep...
