Description: As popular as birdhouses are, many are designed with aesthetics in mind, rather than the bird's preferences and needs. Not so for the projects in Making Bird-Friendly Birdhouses. Lifelong birder Melvin "Bird Man Mel" Toellner and pro woodworker Matt Maguire walk you step-by-step through 15+ projects for safe birdhouses that birds find conducive to their natural nesting habitats. Birdhouses include residences for bluebirds, wrens, robins, chickadees, owls, and even a bat house! With additional sections on distribution maps, detailed plans, mounting instructions, and tips on attracting birds to your yard, this book has everything you need to create a successful backyard haven for the winged friends in your life.
Review Quotes: Making Bird-Friendly Birdhouses is a comprehensive guide on how your home address can also become the home address for birds.
