The bird house book

the long version

Nature buffs and birders should enjoy reading about and making these original bird houses and feeders. There are over 30 bird structures that have been dreamed up by architects to mirror a log cabin, a country cottage, a 50's diner and many other traditional and non-traditional buildings. Based on adapting four fundamental designs for easy building, every finished project is showcased with full-colour photos and has full plans and instructions. There are also devices for keeping out predators, plus tips on feeding, how to attract your favourite birds, where to place your bird house, and which hole sizes appeal to which birds. This collection of originally designed bird houses and bird feeders includes plans for a Victorian farmhouse, a Japanese pagoda, a medieval castle, and more than 25 others, showcased in full color with complete instructions for building.
