Bird House Kits

Decorate Your Garden And Provide Shelter For The Birds

Using birdhouses to add interest to your garden only makes sense. They're little houses for birds. What can be more natural than the little creatures that roam through your garden and yard?

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

birdhouse kits

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.

No assembly required! All you need to do to make this adorable little bird house is sit your kids down with the waterproof paints (Included in the kit!) and let them use their imagination.

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

Appropriate for ages 5 and up.

Get your kids interested in Nature at an early age and they'll always have a hobby they can turn to.

Whether it's gardening, bird watching, wildlife conservation or just plain saving the environment. It's never to early to introduce your kids to Mother Nature.

    I love birdhouses. These are really cute.

    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.

    These are cute... and the cap shaped one is my favorite. I'm sure my dad had one just like it.

    I love birdhouses! What fun it would be to build my own birdhouse instead of purchasing a ready-made.

    I'm thinking the male must've come home late in the photo above lol :) These are adorable bird houses. My parents have several for different types of birds.

    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!

    These birdhouse kits are so cute! It would be so fun to do these with my kids! :)

    I love birdhouses, and have several. The tip about not using metal is excellent. Blessed

    Great fun, I love these cute houses, they would be really nice to make!
  • SudokuNut Feb 9, 2012 @ 10:38 pm | delete
    Nice lens. I've got some old wood knocking around so I could make a few of these for our trees out back. The kids would probably love it.

    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!

    All kinds of lenses you have on dogs, cats and horses ... anything on alligators ... I'm looking for recipes for an alligator pie ..... Oh BTW thanks for the visits and the blessings.
