- How to Make a Simple Birdhouse
We had an old Birdhouse in our yard that was starting to fall apart. So we decided to build a brand new cedar birdhouse that is simple enough that anyone should be able to make. And with this step-by-step process you should be able to decorate your yard with your own custom birdhouse.

Matthew 6:26-27 - Jak na to + styl
Thank you for sharing a GREAT approach to building a house for birds: protection, ventilation, drainage, access for cleaning and maintenance, protected opening, and no perch for predators. 🐦
Great video!!! I’m 15 years old and I saw this video this morning, I went straight outside and built it, it turned out great!! Thanks so much for the video!
Great job. Love the small details that make so much difference.
I really liked how the bird house came out i also really liked the bent nail idea which you could use to open and close the bird house
- Thanx 4 sharing & giving the angle cutting info. Nice job.
I love this natural, simple and nice birdhouse. Thanks for a nice and interesting video.
I’ve watched oodles of build-it-yourself bird houses, but I must say, yours is the best, easiest and most doable model yet. I like the way you explained everything, your easy to listen to and in fact I’ve subbed your channel for these reasons. Thank you and God bless you and your family. From central Florida.
good work, thank you for posting this video...I'm going to make one.
So excited! This is my first ever bluebird box! Thank you for the easy to follow instructions, I have subscribed to your channel & am excited to make more of these for my yard. Thank you for making your video so easy to follow. Ok
So glad it helped you
Very nice! I love watching blue birds.
Thank you! They are quite enjoyable.
Wow ! Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
You are a great teacher
Thank you very much
Enjoyed your video, now to try it myself, thanks for your time. Geraldine South Wales
This a well done box. The only issue is there is not enough ventilation. Eggs and chicks can quickly succumb if the inside temperature builds up.
Very nice video. Thanks for sharing
When I drill the entrance hole I glue the square block to the door, that way you only have to drill once.
Good video.
So simple but so effective. That nail at 90° was a nice touch. Great work my man
Thanks brother.
What a great video! Easy to follow, concise, straight to the point!! Exactly what I was looking for!
nice job
Nice little project =)
Thanks!
I want that old bird house 😁
I build and sell birdhouses made almost exactly like yours. The only thing I would point out is the height of the hole from the bottom (for bluebirds 7'' to center) and I scratch in tiny grooves on the inside of the door for the fledglings to have a litte better grip to exit. I'm glad you mentioned the correct hole size as each species have different requirements.
I have built many of these style bird houses. I give them to friends, family and neighbors. This video is the best how to video I have seen in a very long time. Great job.
Great video!.. I wanted to know about the screws that went into the bottom.. did you cover them somehow?..or leave them exposed? Would that be dangerous to the chicks? Thank you
How far down down from the top do you drill the hole? Thanks!
Should you put some sort of pole by the hole for easy landing
Over the years you've taught me how to build
a Dog house,
a bat house,
a bird house ...
I can't wait to start working on that $ # ! + house !
When's that video coming ? ? ?
Making the bird entrance thicker was a great idea and something that I wouldn't have thought of. Great project to use up those small pieces of wood!
Thank you very much.
I hope all is well at your house.
i loved your demo and will making a new box - i want to make one bigger than the standard 4x4 bottom- to give the babies more room, but i would edit your comments to mention - do not put houses on fences or light poles - they need to be on a pole with a baffle - to keep snakes - raccoons out -
and squirrels.
@@rodneyjohnson4794 i made a box - 2 hole- it has more room than a reg box and the babies can really spread their wings and get strong: I used a 5ft stove pipe for a baffle - they had 2 broods last year and are in the processing of building now - they are safe way up there
Very good. Thanks. There are a few different variations to make these houses. One thing I would comment on is that if you are going to put it on a pole, put a baffle on that pole so that predators can't access the birds. Lots of animals would love to eat the chicks, eggs, or even the parents. Stove pipe could be used as a raccoon deterrent. If you never see raccoons or possoms, you could just use a soda bottle to stop the squirrels and chipmunks.
Any way to cut the roof to match the sides with a miter saw that doesn’t tilt? I have all the pieces but the roof made but trying to figure out the 15 angle cut with my super standard miter saw.
Great vid what are the dimensions of the board that you used please?
#STAYSAFE
Is your fence picket 5-1/2 or a full 6"? Also, regarding the "latch" made with the nail, I drive my nails from the side. My thought is this. If the nail from the front gets loose due to wood shrinkage, it might not hold the front securely. Great video. I like your style and the fact you mentioned good safety tips.
Thank you and I believe they are 5.5" but listed as 6"
Can a 2x4 be load bearing?
I learned a new word today! “Slopeage” 🤣
I just saved a bird recently from a very old house my neighbour has, his neck was wrapped in whatever string they used to make the nest. I haven’t seen them go back in and I feel really bad so I want to make a new one and this video is amazing, very informative and shows you all the steps. Are there any good ways to get them to take to the new nest ? And would it be bad to spray paint the wood for colour? Obviously only going to paint one side that goes on the exterior, just curious
From what I understand about bluebirds, they do not return to the same nest every year so it will probably move on. As for the paint, I don't think it would cause problems, but I'm not sure.
Do you have printable plans for this project?
Sorry but no
@@SpecificLove7 ok thanks. Great video btw!
गुड जॉब सर
I should build a bird house or two. I actually have a wren that built a nest in my rolling cart under my deck a couple of weeks ago.
This would be a great project for you. Make a video and share it too.
Specific Love Creations maybe. I’m kind of in a metal mood lately, but I could pull out my miter saw and nailer and knock out a couple.
I would love to see a metal version. That would be cool.
I hope that your screws that went in to the base of the birdhouse didn't go all the way through the bottom - cos they'd go in to the bottom of the birds too !
Sorry, i don't speak english but the box have not holes in the bottom for dreaning
excellent idea!
I saw the picture and thought it was an outhouse
Looks like a great bluebird house. There were only two things I would do differently. As someone commented already, there should always be some type of groove on the inside of the front that the baby birds can use as a ladder to get out of the box when they fledge and also the floor should be inset a bit rather than flush with the sides so that it doesn't soak up water when it rains.
Why not jus make box, slope roof. Lots of cutting here
Good project that will help protect eggs and chick. Too many wood workers are not birding enthusiasts like to show us their expensive tools, build beautiful creative boxes with no ventilation, no floor drainage, incorrect hole size, the dreaded perch, no access door and add unnecessary stain or paint. Minor tweaks to your excellent work would be more ventilation for warm climates and floor drainage. I hope this gets lots of views,.
Great video! I’m not sure and maybe the wood you used was rough enough. However, I have always heard that it was best to make sure that the inside front wall (where the entrance hole is located) was rough so that it would allow the baby birds to climb out when it was time for them to leave the nest.
I didn’t build the 3 nesting boxes currently in my yard but after buying them, I roughly scraped lateral lines across the inside front wall (below the entrance hole) so that the baby birds could get enough traction to climb out when it was time for them to see the world. Again, thanks for a great video and when it’s time to replace my current nesting boxes, I’ll build them instead.
Thank you for the info, I just learned something.
Dude! You need to paint that pole!
Maybe 😀
@@SpecificLove7 Gonna look ghetto if ya don't. Ha!
Wow, a quick glimpse and I thought it was an outhouse or possibly trump’s presidential library.
NEEDS DRAIN IN NESTING AREA
No need to yell
Too much talking....
Thanks for watching
