The New Birdhouse Book

A birdhouse can be as simple as a recycled detergent bottle, or as elaborate as a miniature Bavarian castle. It might be constructed as bent twigs, old barn wood, or whitewashed cedar. Whatever form it takes, the birdhouse will always remain a symbol of the beneficence of nature and the extraordinary beauty of birds. The New Birdhouse Book is a history as well as a celebration of avian housing that will inspire and guide you as you create your own birdhouse. It includes detailed plans for a wide range of designs from a simple nest box to an elegant plantation house. It features a comprehensive section on birdhouse basics and is packed with practical pointers that will guide the reader in matching the right birdhouse with the right species, as well as advice in stocking feeders and maintaining houses year-round. It also provides suggestions for using birdhouses as design accents in the garden or home and advice on what to look for, where to shop, and how much to pay for authentic birdhouses. This fascinating book, with its charming and inspirational photos, provides endless ideas and a range of plans detailing housing solutions for our feathered friends.

The author does an excellent job with the construction techniques, material lists, etc., but there are no finished photos of the 38 bird houses that are laid outn in detail at the back of the book. Finished photos would be helpful because there are missing connections between the sub modules. If you don't know where the finished sub assemblies connect to each other, you are lost. The lack of the finished photos compounds this glaring error.

Nicely bound hardback book. The first part of the book is about good construction, style, & fancy houses. The 2nd half of the book are PLANS. Most of the plans were taken from a prior published book I was disappointed with that half of the book. Thus the rating.

Great book and great service. Really good ideas for building birdhouses - just what I wanted. I would definetly order from the same people again.

This book has a lot of nice photos,of fancy birdhouses, but it does not have simple easy birdhouses to build. I was disappointed.

fan of bird house adding to collection anyone interested in making birdhouses this is one book for you!such fast delivery i was shocked when i received it.
