Easy to Build Birdhouses Very happy I got this book, lots of great ideas to build birdhouses. I love the simple styles since I’m not into really fancy birdhouses. Comes with patterns and measurements, and lots of great info about what birds prefer, like the size of the house and size of the hole to attract different birds. Has the plans for a butterfly house I want to try, and a roosting ledge that I think the morning doves would like. Also want to build a purple martin house, I know they eat lots of mosquitoes…
Good addition to my projects sources.
