Dear visitors of the site From the material presented by the author, you will learn how to make a birdhouse for the birds yourself, as well as the master will tell you all the ins and outs of building a feathered house.
The design is quite simple and its creation does not require special knowledge in carpentry. With the onset of spring, our smaller brothers return to us from the south, as well as helpers in the fight against pests of gardens.
So, in order to attract starlings to your site, you need to build a birdhouse for them and it is better if it looks as natural as possible.
Let's look at what the author will need to build a bird house?

2. screws
3. furniture loop
4. stick
5. beam 20x20
Instruments1. drill
2. jigsaw
3. hacksaw
4. screwdriver (screwdriver)
5. ruler

The process of building a birdhouse from slab do it yourself.And so, the best birdhouse will be the one that most has a natural look. Many people make such natural houses from a single cut of 300-350 mm logs, hollow out the core in it and install the bottom and roof, drill a summer hole and the birdhouse is ready. It is better of course, if the core is rotten it will be very simple to remove it, and in some cases it will fall out by itself.
It is also a good option to make slabs, because one of the sides of the board is covered with bark, which will give the same natural effect.
If anyone does not know what (croaker) is, here is his photograph for clarity.
Also in the spring, other helpers, such as swallows, return to us. For them, too, you can build a house, though having its own characteristics. Firstly, the roof must be gable. It is not necessary to install a perch in front of a letka, but otherwise everything is the same as when creating an ordinary birdhouse.
It would be ideal to add an owl to your site, as you probably know that owls feed on rodents, snakes, and frogs. For an owl, you can also build a house, with its own characteristics in the design. Of course, the dimensions of the dwelling should be several times larger than that of an ordinary birdhouse, and it is better to set the shape to a rectangular one. The summer is also rectangular. Here is an example sample shown in (photo) below.
The likelihood that the owl will settle in the house you made is certainly small, but if you fix it on a tree in the forest, the owl will surely settle there and it will certainly be very grateful to you, as well as its kids will be under a reliable roof.
And so, now let's look at the detailed 3D
model birdhouse submitted by the author. The peculiarity of this birdhouse is also that its roof will be fixed with a furniture hinge and has the ability to open and close. Pretty interesting!? Why is this needed? The fact is that it is recommended that birds should be cleaned prior to the arrival of birds from "resting in the south", and for convenient access to the inside, the roof must be opened. Here is a seemingly insignificant, but very important trifle.
In no case should the sawn-down boards be treated with varnish by impregnation and other himuga !!! Everything should be as natural as possible. 20x20 bars are attached to the 2nd planks from the inside.
The tap hole is drilled with a crown, and the diameter should be in the range of 40 to 50 mm. This size value has been accumulated over years of observation. Such an inlet size will secure residents from uninvited predatory guests. Just as important! You need to make the letok as close to the roof as possible, thereby the predator’s paw cannot reach the bottom of the house.
The finished base, the author cuts at a slight angle, using a hacksaw. This is necessary so that the roof has a slope.
A timber is attached to the back of the birdhouse using self-tapping screws. Important!!! Take the screws so long that they do not pass through the back wall.
Now the most solemn and crucial moment! Installation) You can hang birdhouses next to the house on your site, using the posts, trees and structures of the house itself. It should be fixed to a height of at least 3-4 m above ground level, and you also need to make sure that the birdhouse is in a level position, does not tilt and does not fall over.
The author also advises hanging a small summer feeder and periodically feeding her helpers, and do not collect berry and fruit crops under clean ones so as to leave our smaller brothers a little. As the saying goes, "We are responsible for those whom we tamed" And the birds living in your area. we can say that they are)
