Bird House Kits
Ranked #6,301 in Home & Garden, #77,842 overall
Decorate Your Garden And Provide Shelter For The Birds
But birdhouses can also be functional. While a lot of different bird species make their nests in trees and shrubs, some prefer a more sheltered nesting place. And that's exactly what a birdhouse is - a warm little love nest!
Get your kids involved in building some of these birdhouse kits and start teaching them about nature while they're young. They can learn about the birds who move into their little houses and what they eat and what it takes to keep them safe from predators.
Before you know it they'll be interested in gardening and wildlife habitats and saving the environment!
Birdhouse: Things You Should Know

Never Use Metal: Never build your birdhouses out of metal. Metal gets hot when it's out there in the sun and your poor little birds would die in the heat. The best material is wood.
Where's the Door?: The door should but up near the top of the birdhouse so when the babies come they won't accidentally fall out and it should be 2 to 3 inches in diameter.
Easy to Clean: Choose a birdhouse that has a removable top or side so you can easily clean it when the birds move out for the winter. You wouldn't like to move into a dirty house, would you? Neither do birds!
Protection: Most birds prefer that their house blend in with their surroundings. That's why you see so many birdhouses made of natural materials and decorated in subtle earth tones or with colorful flowers that blend in with the garden. Camouflaging their birdhouse helps keep them hidden from predators.
It's also important to place birdhouses out of the reach of dogs and cats and other 4-legged creatures that might be roaming around your yard. And you'll be more apt to get new tenants if you place the house near some trees or shrubs instead of out in the open.

The real thatched roof is too cute for words and this house is big enough for 2 birds.
Appropriate for ages 5 and up.

- Oh, how adorable are these! A great idea too. I could imagine one of these bird house kits being a great project for kids to put together on spring break, and then watch the birds they attract.

- We're having snow in Fargo but I know spring is just around the corner and I wanted to take another peek in at your bird house kits, its important to get them ordered early and put out for that first family to move in and when they move out, remember to clean in out so others can use it in the same season!

- Putting together a bird house kit is a fun family activity and its time to start thinking about our returning nesting bird friends and don't forget to clean out the nest when baby birds leave to tidy up for a new family to move in!
