Excerpt from Homes for Birds
Many people enjoy songbirds and would like to do something to attract them to their surroundings. Birds are fascinating to look at, listen to, and study. Habits of nesting and rearing and feeding the young can be studied, as well as growth of the young from emergence from the eggs to time of departure from parental care.
Building a nesting box for birds is the start of an immensely rewarding hobby - bird watching - and at the same time satisfies an urge by many to do something to attract our feathered friends. Many types of designs for bird houses are available, including several that are simple to build. All that's required are a few basic tools and materials and anyone can complete such a project given a simple design. Choice of specific design for the bird house is essential, however, as each species of bird is attracted by a different type of home.
