I made these from some scrap pine I had laying around.I am trying to get my angles etc. a bit better before I attempt anything more complicated.Half of the roof lifts up for filling the feeder.It’s hinged at the back.The bottom of the birdhouse has corner screws for cleaning it out.

I love em.
One of the first woodworking projects I ever did was a birdhouse and feeder. That was over 30 years ago.
30 years and millions of dollars worth of woodworking later…......................I still get excited when I have the time to build yet another birdhouse.
Cheers

Nice work on the birdfeeders. It’s been a while since I’ve seen any nice ones in my area, usually the bears knock em down and they end up looking like a scrap pile.
