Building a Bird House

Using just a few tools and a small investment you can create a DIY bird house using plans from Ted's Woodworking.

Building a bird housecan be a lot of fun. It lets you use your imagination and you can experiment with various materials, shapes and designs. Any softwood will actually work for your birdhouse (cypress, pine, cedar, fir and redwood).

The size of the entry hole and the interior room will typically determine the type of bird your bird house will attract. Floor areas that are small tend to attract very small birds like nuthatches, bluebirds or chickadees. A smaller inside area is not as hard to fill with nesting materials. There are actually so many different types of bird houses and with Ted's Woodworking Plans, you get to see how to build your own specific bird house depending on the kind of birds you are looking to attract or keep. Below is a list of generic tasks that are involved in building a bird's house:

• Build the base
• Assemble the walls and roof
• Cut and assemble the opening
• Add the finishing details
• Protect your bird house with an oil finish
• Mount the bird house outdoors
