Building A
Bird House
Building a bird house is a great way to start
a new hobby. Offering shelter and protection to a family of birds
can be a fascinating project.
Bird
houses can be built from a kit, from plans, or just by nailing a few
boards together depending on how fancy or plain a bird house you
want. First you need to know what kind of bird you want to
attract. Specifications are different for the houses of the
different species.
Do you want to attract a blue bird, a
wren, a finch, a purple martin or a chickadee? The
sizes of the house, the size and location of the entrance hole, and the placement of
the house are just a few considerations.
Once you decide what type of bird you want to
attract, look into the kits and plans or draw up your own plans
according to the needs of that particular bird family.
After your
house is completed and you are waiting for arrivals, you can put out
nesting materials nearby for the birds to use to build their nest.
Just keep the pieces of yarn or string together where they can be easily
found.
Birds are loosing their natural habitat
by the widespread practice of clean forestry. In North
America there are about 50 species of birds that will nest in bird
houses. There are many species that actually require our housing
to keep the species alive.
