These are identical to the ones at my place. They aint fancy but the bluebirds love em as I have nests with eggs in all of mine. I have to replace them often as the woodpeckers enlarge the holes and then the bluebirds wont use them anymore.

Nice bird houses. Here is a chart for anyone wanting to build birdhouses.

Thanks for the knid words guys.

doc: I’m giving one of them to a fellow that gave me the wood from an old barn he tore down. Told me that he couldn’t sell it so he gave it to me. I pretty sure he’ll like to get a birdhouse. I’ll make more out of that after the woodpeckers have their way. I have a pair of woodpeckers eating sunflower seeds out of a birdfeeder in the front yard. Didn’t know that they would do that, thought they just ate bugs.

papadan: Thanks for the chart posting, good place for it. But looks like it’s missng a column for distance from nearest structure.

Nice work, Darrell. I’ve had a standing order from the wife for a couple of years now, to build some of these.
I’m sure the birds would appreciate my getting started also.

I thought about making some bird houses in my back yard, but didn’t know how big. Thanks for the chart, papadan. Nice job, Darrell!

Nice work

I built one with my 12 year-old. He measured and I cut. It was great. I think I might have to fix the hole on mine too. We have woodpeckers out here too.

I like the weathered look of those.

Thanks for the kind words Willie. The hole I found out is called a predator protector, keeps the others from reaching in far enough to harm the bluebirds.

Excellent looking blue bird house. I am starting to build some today. Thank you.
