Hi
This is one of many Extreme birdhouses that I have built. It is made from 80 year old reclaimed barn wood. They range from 2 ft up to 9 ft wide and over 8 ft tall.

Update


Extreme Birdhouse Subdivision

I have been getting more and more birds showing up at my place lately. They are filling up my houses faster then i can build them.

I have also been getting lots of Purple Martins so I will be designing some Martin Houses very soon.

I am designing a log style dovecote too. The birds love them.

Springwater Bird Condo

by J. Seifert
(Oregon City, Oregon)

This house was built with the talents of 2nd & 3rd grade children from the Springwater Environmental (charter) School located just outside Oregon City, Oregon. The house was built/assembled by a parent, the decorating and painting was done by the children. This house was built for a charity auction to help fund the school.

Bird Houses For A Cure

by Stephen Wiseman
(New Bern, NC)

My wife & I have been feeding the birds in our area for a number of years. We love to feed and watch the Humming birds.

My wife and I are also team captains for a team in our church that participates in the Relay for Live campaign sponsored by the American Cancer Society.

We are always looking for ways to raise money for our team. This year we have combined our love of birds and ways to raise money to come up with "Bird houses for a cure".

I own a home repair and remodeling business and so with my wood working skills I have been designing and building bird houses.

I have taken pictures of the houses that I have built and put them in an email to all my friends which I sent out several days ago.

I have sold 3 bird houses modeled after a church. I have 6 different designs and continue to design one about every week.

My wife and I are looking forward to selling my bird houses as well as provide a home for our winged friends not to mention being able to raise money to help find a cure for cancer.

If you haven't built or bought a bird house to give a little bird a home and then to watch as they raise a family you are missing so much fun.

Brick Bird Bungalow

by Warren Wenger
(Aberdeen MD)

This fine bird house is not the first brick bird house I have painted, but it is one of the nicest brick jobs I have done on my bird houses.

It is made from 1x6 pine, 4 inch walls, 1 1/2 hole size. It is a regular 45 angle roof bird box with an extended floor to make the front yard an driveway.

You have to cut a square piece of wood off of the roof, so when it overlaps at the peak, the bottom of your roof is even.

The square piece I cut 1 1/4 long rounded the top with my utility knife. Then I drilled a hole in the bottom 3/8 deep and drilled the same in the front yard an used a dowl rod to mount the mailbox.

I then took the square stock I had cut off the roof piece measured 2 1/2 inches short side and cut at a 45 degree angle to make the chimney.

Two holes drilled in the front yard and a piece of galvanized hanging wire hold down the Maisto 1:18 scale replica Honda 600 gpz in case their wings are tired from migration. They can use the bike to fly on the ground.


Sincerely birdwatching:

Bird Mansion

by Chris & April Pierson
(Wortington, WV)

My wife and I built this house for her grandmothers birthday. I constructed it and she did the painting.

Her Grandmother always wanted a big birdhouse for her yard, and she has a great pole that used to have a satellite mounted on it that we will mount it on.

We hope you like our "Vera Manor" in commemoration of her grandma.

Custom Built Birdhouses

by Michael Bowen
(Hollywood, CA)

We enjoy making custom built birdhouses here at Bowen Birdhouses. I am a master craftsman, and I am great with detail and woodworking.

Our customers navigate our site, decide the size of their house, small, medium, or large, proceed to checkout, and send me a photo of their house.

I do all detailing from porch swings, ceiling fans, shutters, porches, even special pets. In 4 to 6 weeks you will have a custom replica birdhouse of your home.

Eighty percent of our customers tell us they love the house so much, they refuse to put them outside.

Thanks so much for your time. We hope you will visit and get your orders in for springtime. Or even a special gift for mom!

We are also on facebook - Bowen Birdhouses with hundreds of examples of our before and after custom birdhouses.

RK-Scrap Cedar Strips

by Rich
(Rockford, MI)

Made this one as a gift for a couple we stayed a weekend with.

I like making elaborate birdhouses, but found I'd rather give them as gifts than watch my creations deteriorate.

This one is made with 1x wood with 1/4" strips of cedar (leftovers) covering it. There's some pieces of various exotic wood used as trim (purpleheart, mahogany, cherry, walnut & Paduak )
