Audubon Birdhouse BookBuilding, Placing, and Maintaining Great Homes for Great Birds
Birders know that you need the right house to attract the right bird--and we're not talking trim color. An entrance hole that's 1/8 inch too big or too small spells trouble, as does a roof that leaks or a floor that doesn't drain. With the "Audubon Birdhouse Book" you can build safe, species-appropriate houses for your favorite birds. Follow step-by-step photos and detailed instructions to create the right nest box, plus learn how and where to mount it to increase the chances that newlyweds will move in and raise a family.
Want bluebirds nesting nearby? They'll be delighted to take up residence in a leakproof, pestproof, easy-to-build Xbox nest box--the very latest in birdhouse design. The profiles, photos, and range maps in the bluebird section will tell you if you've got Eastern, Western, or Mountain Bluebirds in your region, how many eggs to expect, how long before the youngsters leave the nest, and other useful facts. Armed with the "Audubon Birdhouse Book," you can build a simple wire basket for a mourning dove, a large wooden box for a barn owl, a multibranched gourd rack for the sociable purple martin, or any one of a dozen other nest boxes for popular birds.
