Bird watching is becoming one of the fastest-growing outdoor activities in the US alone. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service reports that 51.3 million Americans enjoy this hobby as a regular activity.
It’s common for bird enthusiasts to provide birdhouses or nesting boxes for their feathered friends as well. Birdhouses101.com reports that birdhouses “may be able to prevent further decline of population numbers of several bird species.”
For those who enjoy both the delight of bird watching and also like DIY projects, the new
book Birdhouses, Boxes, and Feeders for the Backyard Hobbyist: 19 Fun-to-Build Projects for Attracting Birds to Your Backyard provides a rewarding and environmentally sound way to enhance any garden and attract birds.
Woodworking experts Alan and Gill Bridgewater have teamed up with ornithologist Stephen Moss to produce a range of boxes and feeders designed to meet the needs of birds and enhance your garden. Information on box and feeder siting, appropriate food, types of nest box, and the birds you can expect to see, is featured alongside everything that you need to know about suitable woods, necessary tools and materials, and construction techniques.
