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.

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

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 )

Backyard Birdhouse

by Joanne Reeves
(Auburn, NY)

This is a birdhouse that I wanted to do to look like an old house, originally it was going to be all gray, but then my husband said, I should add some color to it, so I started changing ideas about it. But this is the final result, and I like it.

The post came from an old house that was being remodeled and upgraded. It came in handy for me.

Red Barn Birdhouse

by Joanne Reeves
(Auburn, NY)

I made this barn for a family in Calif because she saw one of my birdhouses I have made.
As I was going about the countryside, I came across one similiar to this and it truely was an inspiration.

Country Home

by Joanne Reeves
(Auburn, NY)

I wanted to build an older country home, and as I was driving through the countryside, I came across an older home that was a beauty in it's earlier days.
I brought it back to life to enjoy in my backyard.

Wren in Decorative Birdhouse

by Carrie Mashon
(Dorothy, Alberta)

Last year we had a pair of wrens for the first time, stealing green garden twine I had placed in a grapevine wreath. We had a horrific wind and the nest came down.

This year they are nesting in a wooden decorative birdbox that I drilled ventilation holes and drainage holes in.

Everything was going good until we got a horrific wind and rain, it would have blown right in the hole of the birdhouse.

I tied the branch to a fence so it wouldn't whip around so bad. Now I can see that they are re-building the nest.

I wonder if the eggs were smashed or drowned?

I hope they can make a go of it and that the little chicks can stay of out cats mouths....my biggest worry. (We're very rural, 30 miles from Drumheller, Alberta)

Chimney Bluebird House

by Jim
(Daleville, AL)

House made of Cedar.

Raised seam aluminum roof.

Working chimney to vent heat.

Sandra’s Little Homes

I like working with wood and follow the organic leads that I see in it.


My birdhouses allow me to express my artistic ability and at the same time build functional mini structures for birds.

Each one is unique and at the end of my work I feel proud of the result.
