Finding Bird House Plans that are Right for You

Building a birdhouse is easy even for the unskilled, if you have the proper bird house plans. There are over 80 different species of wild birds in North America and almost all have different home needs, so it is no wonder people have a hard time choosing a bird house plan. Using the right bird house plans will make building easier and the outcome much better than choosing the wrong plan or "winging it." (pun intended)

But How Do I Choose A Great Birdhouse Plan?

Choose a Bird

First step is to choose a bird. What types of birds do you want to live with? You can choose a bird by accommodating birds you may already live with, or try and attract birds you like. Song birds and birds of beauty are most common, however some people like birds, not only for their beauty, but their functionality. Birds of prey can be extremely beneficial for removing rodents, snakes, and other annoying creatures.

What Birds Want in a Bird House...

Birds are simple, they want something that will give them enough room to raise young, a location is close to food and has protection against predators. They don't care about the color (although I would not choose bright colors, stick with more natural colors), or the architectural design as long as it fits the species size requirements.
