One Response to How-To: Build a Birdhouse

  1. This is more for decoration than anything else. You shouldn’t combine a feeder and a house because there will be too much feeding activity around the house for a bird to take up residence. Also, it should be made out of raw unfinished wood. When it falls apart, make a new one. If you really want to make bird houses there are plenty of sources that will tell you how to do it for the species in your area that are cavity nesters. Just remember to watch out for House Sparrows and Starlings as they are exotic invasives that will kill the occupant of the nest and move in.
