HOW TO
BUILD A
BIRDHOUSE
Whether you are making a birdhouse for your backyard or giving it to
someone as a gift, nesting boxes are a great way to provide sanctuary
and shelter to the birds that inhabit your area.
Creating a solid, impenetrable birdhouse means using untreated wood,
galvanized screws, and wood glue during construction. Also, providing
the birds with a safe, predator-free environment means setting up the
birdhouse in a high, difficult to reach place.

BIRD
HOUSE
DESIGNS
There are many types of bird house designs that you can use to
build your own backyard nest box. Which should you choose?
Birds will not care what color your bird house is, whether it
has intricate carved designs or cute little welcome signs.
Those elements are for us. Birds ultimately want a nest box that
will shelter them and their eggs and nestlings from weather and
predators.
Bird House Design Elements
A bird house's location and placement is also a factor. Hole
size and dimensions of the bird house will also play a role
in determining which birds will nest and which will not.
Most bird houses will have the basic elements of a sloped roof,
floor and four walls - one with an entrance hole. It is also
always nice to have one of the side walls lift up on a pivot
for cleaning and monitoring.
There should also be holes for drainage and the wood, if used,
should be untreated and thick enough to provide insulation both
from cold and hot temperatures. You may also need to install
some type of predator guard, such as a baffle, to keep unwanted
guests like raccoons, cats or snakes from entering.

THE
RIGHT
BIRDHOUSE
Because birds are already shopping around for nest sites, early spring
is a good time to install backyard birdhouses. Not all birds nest and
rear their young in houses. Those that do are species that seek out
natural cavities in trees. Of some 85 North American species that nest
in cavities, about three dozen also will nest in birdhouses.
Some of the most common backyard birds that use houses are chickadees,
titmice, bluebirds and wrens. But you can attract other species depending
on what kind of habitat you have in or near your yard—and the kind of box
you put up. But first, you want to make sure you’re choosing a box that
will help, not harm, your tenants.
Desirable nesting box features include:
Thick walls constructed of untreated wood for insulation.
Holes for ventilation and drainage.
An extended and sloped roof to keep out the rain.
A baffle to keep out raccoons, snakes, house cats and other
predators that steal eggs and chicks. (One of the best baffles
is made from a length of stovepipe.)
