Materials and Tools Needed Untreated wood (pine, cedar, or redwood are good choices) approximately 1 board foot Wood glue Screws or nails Saw (hand saw, circular saw, or jigsaw) Drill with various sized drill bits Measuring tape or ruler Pencil Sandpaper (medium grit) Clamps (optional but helpful)
Step 1: Cutting the Wood Pieces Based on a simple birdhouse design (e.g., 6" wide, 6" deep, 8" tall), cut the following pieces: Front: 6" wide x 8" tall Back: 6" wide x 8" tall Sides (2 pieces): 6" wide x 7" tall (accounting for the roof angle) Bottom: 6" wide x 6" deep Roof (2 pieces): 6" wide x 7" deep (extending slightly beyond the sides) Ensure all cuts are accurate and square for a sturdy birdhouse. A slight angle on the top of the side pieces will give your birdhouse a slanted roof.
Step 2: Assembling the Birdhouse Walls Apply wood glue to the edges of the bottom piece and attach the front, back, and side pieces. Use clamps to hold the pieces together while the glue dries. Secure the joints with screws or nails. Pre-drilling pilot holes will prevent the wood from splitting.
Step 3: Attaching the Roof Apply wood glue to the top edges of the front, back, and side pieces. Attach the roof pieces, ensuring they overhang slightly. Again, use clamps to hold the pieces in place while the glue dries and secure with screws or nails.
Step 4: Drilling the Entrance Hole Choose a drill bit size appropriate for the birds you wish to attract (e.g., 1 1/2" for bluebirds, 2" for larger birds). Drill the entrance hole in the center of the front piece, about 2-3 inches from the bottom. You may also drill small drainage holes in the bottom of the birdhouse.
Step 5: Sanding and Finishing (Optional) Sand all edges and surfaces to remove splinters and create a smooth finish. You can leave the birdhouse untreated, as some finishes can be harmful to birds. If you choose to paint or stain, use a non-toxic, water-based product and allow it to dry completely before mounting the birdhouse. Avoid painting the inside of the birdhouse.
Step 6: Mounting the Birdhouse Decide where you want to mount your birdhouse. It can be attached to a pole, tree, or building. Ensure the location is safe from predators and has adequate drainage. Consider the type of birds you're trying to attract when choosing the location and height.
Conclusion: Enjoy Your New Birdhouse! You've successfully built a simple birdhouse! Now, patiently wait and observe as birds begin to explore and hopefully make your creation their home. Remember to clean the birdhouse out annually after the nesting season.
