PVC Bird Houses


I've been constructing some PVC bird houses despite their cost. As you can see from the picture, I've chosen not to make entrance holes in some of them as I don't know where they are going to be placed. Most of the houses are using a 1/8" entrance hole for house wrens. The recessed floor is made from a piece of wood which is screwed into the PVC pipe. The "lid" is a PVC female adaptor that fits over the outside and a cleanout plug that can be unscrewed for maintennance. The screw eye is used along with wire to hang the house. The design details can be found in "Projects for the Birders Garden".
