Bird Houses Boys Can Build

A practical manual for young builders that explains how to attract and shelter common cavity‑nesting birds by constructing appropriate nesting boxes and related fixtures. It profiles species likely to accept man‑made homes, explains recommended internal proportions, hole sizes and siting, and offers multiple designs using sawed lumber, rustic materials, and masonry finishes. Additional chapters cover mounting and placement, feeding shelves, bird baths, pest control and prevention of sparrow invasion, maintenance and exhibiting bird‑house projects, all illustrated with measured drawings and photographs to guide step‑by‑step construction.
