Is there anything nicer than watching a family of birds flying in and out of a birdhouse and feeding in your backyard? I never get tired of seeing who is visiting our yard. To add the beauty of birds to your yard, build your own. Bird houses and birdfeeders also make great gifts. The plans are for different skill levels and designed to attract many kinds of birds, so you can build a whole neighborhood for the birds!
Key Takeaways:
- Birdhouse construction is a timeless DIY project that’s fun to do at any age. In fact, this fun pastime has been around for hundreds of years.
- Commonly known as nest boxes, birdhouses were historically constructed from clay, wood, lightweight aluminum, or other natural materials and were used to protect and provide shelter from the outdoor elements for the cute little creatures.
- These mini houses for our feathered friends really haven’t changed much over the years. The anatomy of a birdhouse more or less always stays the same.
