Build a birdhouse or feeder that suits your local birds (and your taste) with the 25+ designs of Build-It-Yourself Birdhouses.

Step-by-step instructions for 25+ unique birdhouses tailored for specific birds—pick the one that fits your neighborhood’s birds and get building!

Join home improvement pro Chris Peterson as he shares a variety of creative designs for birdhouses and bird feeders, from the classic bluebird house to a mid-century modern home. While all the designs are handsome, most are also approachable for beginning woodworkers. Squares, triangles, and simple joining are used throughout the book. For woodworkers with some experience, Peterson shares a variety of customization techniques that can enhance the designs.

Every project contains a showstopping photo of the finished house and step-by-step instructions (with additional photos) to take any guesswork out of the assembly. You’ll also find mounting instructions and tips, as well as information on the types of birds each birdhouse can accommodate.

Designs include:

Small birdhouses: Chickadee Shelter, Nuthatch Wedge, Songbird PVC Birdhouse, Flycatcher Cinderblock Motel, Purple Martin Boarding House, Tufted Titmouse Cabin, Finch’s Pub, a Bat Cave, and more!

Large birdhouses: Mourning Dove Monster Ledge, American Kestrel Lodge, Barn Owl A-Frame, Barred Owl Nest Box, Wood Duck Slat House, and a Woodpecker's Log House.

Creative bird feeders: Telephone Platform Feeder, Porch Swing Bin Feeder, Hanging Man Suet Feeder, Squirrel Proof Feeder, and Zen Feeder.

Chris Peterson has written extensively in the home improvement, cooking, and general reference categories. Included among the 40 books to his credit are Barndominiums, 5-Gallon Bucket Book, and The Blue Bloods Cookbook. Chris lives and works in the Pacific Northwest, where he indulges his love of hiking and baking.
