Who this birdhouse building log is for
This log is for woodworkers, families and nature lovers who build birdhouses and nest boxes for backyard birds. It suits beginners building a first kit, scout groups, schools and makers who sell birdhouses at craft fairs. Different birds need different hole sizes, heights and placements, and recording each build and the birds that move in helps you build homes birds will actually use and enjoy watching them raise their families.
How to use your birdhouse building log
Set goals, such as building boxes for specific species. Plan each birdhouse with dimensions, entrance hole size and mounting height. List wood and materials and tools needed. Sketch designs and decorations. Record which birds visit or nest in each box on the visitors page. Clean boxes at the right time each year using the cleaning page. Track costs, photograph finished birdhouses and keep a wish list.
