The bird is not a Robin.
It's European robin, Known simply as robin or robin redbreast.
That's you telt.
No robin I"ve ever seen would go near it. They are ledge nesters and avoid enclosed spaces.
Best guide on TH-cam. No blather, no table saws, just simple guidelines. Thanks.
You are welcome, glad you liked it.
No big work shop just Basic tools and reclaimed materials, great job I'm going to make a few
I like the jig, good idea.
Thank you for your video. A great help. This will be my wee project for the weekend
You are welcome and thank you for watching.
Thats what I am going to do as well, might encourage my neighbours to do one as well, we have a lot of wee birds which could use these.
Awesome
best bird house 👍
Thanks and thanks for watching.
Buenas noches.Me ha encantado este diseño y lo haré en cuanto disponga del material
Muchas gracias. Y un saludo desde España.
You are welcome and thank you for watching.
Super😃👍
Looks good can you please tell me about the entrance size thx
W 65mm, H 105mm
Thx
Templates are great, if your making for neighbours.. Get them out draw around, and your off
I usually use templates when I use recycled board, makes it easier to choose the best parts.
Looks like a bluebird, that's no Robin
It's European robin, usually called just robin.
Nice project, I am not that keen on mute video clips, I like to hear the thought process of the build throughout, or you're really just guessing what you're doing and why you're doing it that way.
But well done.
I wasn't guessing, this build was based on Simon King's design but he didn't show the build so I decided to figure out the parts to make it and show the build process.
You cannot hide a robin's nest from cats! They will find it...unless your yard is cat proof, which is impossible.
I'm not hiding it from the cats, it's the robins that don't like their nest exposed. I know cats will always find the nest box so it's design will hopefully make it more difficult for the cat's paws to reach the chicks.
@@massoudmakes OK, now I understand about the cats not getting their paws into the nest. I like working with pallet wood and am now (this spring) going to make a nest box with your design. Thanks and good job!
If you have problem with cats, you can fix it a bit higher up but not too high, less than two meters. Good luck with the build.
@@massoudmakes OK. I know pallet boards are 3 1/2" or 3 1/4" wide. I'm wondering if they make a big enough box. Wouldn't old fence boards 5 1/2" wide be better?
@@chevyman5135 The inside nesting area needs to be about 4"x4".
That is too low. On my property they nest at 6 feet
I noticed robins nested in our neighbours garden at about the same height as mine. I couldn't fix it higher as I wanted the tree branches to cover the nest enterance.
@@massoudmakes I should have mentioned cats-we have many wild ones around our property and they nest accordingly.
@@bobbailey7235 shoot those cats
Great box . Placed so that a cat can get at it without any exerction.
Tree branches and ivy covers the entrance to the porch which make it more difficult for the cats. The only other way is for the cat to jump on the roof of the box and that can be solved with some spikes.
WHY sand the inside Robins dont go round sanding the inside of trees when they nest the roughness helps the young birds climb out when fledging
Did you not watch the entire video? He's sanding the paint from the boards, which may be toxic for the birds.
He should have done some practice runs first, it looked as if he wasn't quite sure what he was doing.
I don't know what you mean, I know exactly what I am doing. I have shown all the steps in making it and also any design adjustments or tweaking that was needed. This is a real life how to video showing you any obstacles that might arise with the solutions to overcome them.
@@massoudmakes Brilliant design exactly the way i make them . if the garden is bare and no cover i tack
camo netting around the box. They will definitely nest there i also put a handful of moss in the entrance
for the birds to think it was used the year before seems to work
Hes making a nesting box not a module for the space station. I like it warts and all.
@@happy11111100 It won't be long till the tree branches cover the box but your idea is also great especially making it look used, thanks.
Just go and buy one!
Some one also makes the ones you buy 👍
Anyways that's the lazy way..
