THANKS! Lucky birds in your neighborhood, the ping pong table comes handy! 😄
An option: you can use screws/nails/ to hold the base in place,remove them to clean out the birdhouse.
This method want allow you to clean nest materials out from season to season??? Just a thought
I especially like your horizontal version of your birdhouse. Good job!
+Ihspwamh Im not sure way but the birdhouse the birds seem to like the best was made from the dark brown fence post. Three sets of chicks in one season. Wondering if its the darker color.
+DIYeasycrafts there is always paint...
+Ihspwamh That might just be the answer!
I agree with some of the people that have commented about Woody Hyezmar’s Woodworking Bible, it’s pretty solid even if it’s not complete!
Muy bueno el video,gracias por compartir.
So cute!
Cool but music to loud and how do you get in to clean it out.
I live in NYC and sparrows life these horizontal designs.
Two words.....magic eraser! Gets ink off, they ARE magic. LOL I washed highlighter ink off a cardboard puzzle box with one. Try that for removing the ink from the plastic. Also, I'd use a blade for cutting plastic on my compound miter saw that then risk cutting my hand with the saw the way you were fighting with the cuts and also sooooo much faster. :)
I like it but how do you clean it out at the end of the nesting season . You need some kind of hinge on the roof or back .
Love the simplicity of your bird house..Very stylish and unique!
Thank you so much 😊
Never thought about doing this. I work in the plants and I always put screams on the ends to prevent birds. But I’m gonna do this in the near future to see a few more birds. What size hole did u cut for the door?
amazing....
These look great, but you'll never have the ability to clean them out. If you glue the back disk to the Trex, and screw it in from two sides, you'll be able to clean it out every year, and most birds don't like previous bird nests, and/or field mice nests left in there
Very nice!
Great ideas😎👍
So I made some and love them. But you didn’t show how to open them to clean them out?? Unhatched, mice took over or just needs to be cleaned
How does this chap still have all his fingers.?
Holy crap there's alot of negative comments! I'd say great job and i think this would be an awesome idea, maybe do a whole community or hotel of the horizontal ones for swallows
cute and they look very durable and water-resistant!
good nice vedio I love Birds
very nice video .
waaao very good
Circumference is a good word to use sometimes.
Needs drainage holes to let out water. Also, like one commenter said, do not install a perch on the house which allows predators to get to the baby birds
looks good! but every fall your suppose to clean out the nest for fresh build next year.....and block the hole so mice dont get in there over winter...plus should not have a perch for other birds to stand on....
Whats wrong with providing a nesting area for field/deer mice?
Pros say to keep the doors open so other things go on there over winter like mice. I have cleaned mine out and found mice in the bird house and realy stunk like piss. If you place a little stick right below the hole, other birds can stand on it and interrupt the bird in it. I am not trying to nick things down
PVC gives off small quantity of gases which could be detrimental to birds.
Although great idea to use PVC, I would not recommend it as a birdhouse or a feeder product. Just my two cents into the mix.
What did you use
this is a very nice and indestructible bird oven for drowning baby birds if they have not died from mold infection. please add drain holes and access door for cleanout.
How do you hang it??
Gratidão
How do you clean out these bird boxes? or do you throw them away each years?
Birds will generally clean out a house and rebuild the nest to suit their needs. I have had birdhouses for over 40 years and have NEVER cleaned one. It is amazing to see the awesome variety of nesting materials that the drag out. I always build my houses from cedar and rarely finish or paint them and never install a perch. I generally have over 20 houses in my very large yard. From my experience, many birds seem to like a simple rectangular box with good drainage and a horizontal oblong entrance hole as opposed to round, and positioned to one side of the front of the box.
Just for your info: A birdhouse should never have a perch. A perch allows predator birds to hang onto the birdhouse and get to the babies easier. The perch evolved as a decorative thing. You can look at farmers who have very large vegetable gardens and have lots of birdhouses; the houses don't have perches.
exactly jimmie200 , birds naturally use a rotted out hole in a tree for a nesting spot, mother nature does not come around and stick a perch in the tree for the birds to use but people think they need a perch. All of our nature center blue bird house kits do NOT have a perch.
How true, no perches needed
jimmie200, the perches just make it easier for the birds to get in and out. Predators can get in just as easily whether its a perch, scratchings or nothing at all. The bird houses just give better protection to the birds as apposed to a tree. It makes sense if you think about it. 👍
Really need to have a way to open and clean out each year.
Carolina Wren likes perches
My husband and I enjoy your videos. Favorites are when you use your “sower” for cuts. Only other American accent, other than a Texan, that multiplies the syllable count in single syllable words.😄😄😁
TERRIBLE
Music is obstructiv
.
How does cleansing make it?
Comment vous faites pour les nettoyer !! ¿🤔
What birds are you hoping to attract ? It looks a large hole for a such a small nest. It’s advised that there be a 12.5 cm / 5 inch drop from the bottom of the hole to the floor which stops predators like squirrels putting a paw in and scooping out a chick. Adding a few drainage and vent holes would be of benefit. How will you be able to clean it ? I don’t mean to be critical but helpful. The concept is great but maybe a few changes would improve it.
How do you attach it to the tree if everything is glued together?
I used a screw gun (drill) with a long driver and screwed through the entrance hole.
Don't fit a perch, that enables preditaters to sit comfortably while eating the young or eggs.
Even with a perch I have video of a raccoon holding on and eating the young. You have to use a flange or a piece of metal pipe so he can’t reach in
I love this design and method. Thanks for sharing.
Ditch the perch just do the hole!!! Great video...
Great project, but ditch the music!
+squire haggard Thanks and already did. New videos have a different background music LOL
AAAAAH!! lol
It's the music volume is too high compared to your voice.
There are many components to creating an amazing design. One plan I discovered that succeeds in merging these is the Aviary magic method (check it out on google) without a doubt the most useful course that I've seen. look at this interesting resource.
There are several tips for building birdhouses:
Allow plenty time.
take advantage of done for you boat blueprints.
(I discovered about these and more from Aviary magic method website )
I see you using some sour glue but my problem I see is how do you change it how do you clean it out every fall
👌👌
I’m sure the birds will love the smell of silicon😂😂
how you clean them out end of the nesting season.....It's a good idea to clean out your nest box once the young birds have fledged. ... Building a new nest in a new location also means predators are less likely to find the nest site before the young birds fledge. However, for nest boxes or birdhouses, NestWatch suggests cleaning out the box at the end of the season.
🙏🏽👍. Safety
No ventilation and will hold water very well, otherwise very good!
I have spent months researching into constructing birdhouses and found an awesome website at Aviary magic method (check it out on google)
NOT GOOD AT ALL
How do you clean it? You can't .
Sure this is super easy, but there is no way to clean out the house when you glue it all together.
Did you know you dont have to clean out the old nest if the housing unit is for a Wren? They will toss out the old material themselves & replace with new, I've watched them do it in my gourd bird houses.
I think most birds of the same kind will do it. Everyone keeps asking about cleaning it. It is not a dog/car house
I've been researching into constructing birdhouses and discovered a great website at Aviary magic method (check it out on google)
What if its not a wren?
@@terryyouth nah, ur wrong.... and wtf is a car house
cool idea but not sure birds like plastic, you should really spend a few minutes on google to get the proper specs on a real bird house, the size of the hole is very important and perches are a no no...
You are correct size of the hole is very important. I have found that birds do like the plastic birdhouses but do prefer the darker brown trex structures. As for the perch I know several viewers say not to use them and that is an individual decision. I kind of get a kick out of seeing mother birds standing on the perch and feeding chicks through entry hole.
I love the idea of PVC because it's water tight (the material itself) and it will definitely last forever. however it's not a very natural feeling material and the bird will prefer wood like material as you pointed out but with the competition and lose of habitat they will use it anyway, kind of like low income housing in the wild. :)
As for the perch it is an individual decision because you are the one building the house and the birds will stand on anything perch like. The reason the birding community recommends against perches is that it becomes a link to other unwanted birds and predators like squirrels and cats that will use the perch to hand on to while reaching into nest. Not they won't try this without the perch but it gives them and advantage . This is why height of the entrance in relation to the floor of the house is also important to keep chicks out of reach of predators and doubling the thickness of the door helps also.
And not to make an essay out of this but just to mention the things i consider when making a bird house are ventilation, drainage, access to open and clean in the winter. And one last thing would be, especially for a material as slippery as PVC is to make some groves inside the nest under the entrance to help chicks clime out when they're ready to leave the nest. Tons of more info on that on the web but keep in mind the type of bird you're targeting so you know exactly what size everything should be. Good luck and keep up the good work.
the reason they recommend against the perch is because predators will use it to get a grip while reaching into the house, the birds will certainly use it but they don't need it. it is to protect the birds, so you have the choice of making a better house... up to you....

DIYeasycrafts- On PVC a perch is a good ideal, being a smooth surface, I imagine it would be diffcult for a bird to cling to the opening/surface.
खूब
...мастер/фломастер! ты не думаешь, что в таких скворечниках птицам будет холодно?, а как птенцы будут вылезать к летку😉..?
tip alcohol or something similar will probably remove the writing on the pvc
No way to clean out the nest after use and it also needs ventilation at
base or otherwise it'll get very damp & mouldy (from chicks themselves and waste
& food & condensation). If made too shallow, (entrance hole too low) chicks can fall out and predators/birds can reach
in. No perch needed, predators can use it! Also without drilled ventilation
holes it can get too hot inside for the chicks. -otherwise very good!
Good idea, shame I don't have any spare pipe around :(
What is this a Miami Vice birdhouse build?! common man
You forgot to put drain holes at the bottom
What is Trev
Please remove the music.
So this is a one year bird house? Bird houses need to be cleaned out year to remove mites and other vermin. No ventilation holes up by the roof either.
Its got a big fucking hole up front
Nice nest fellow, but birds fly up to their roost so the dowel below the hole is a hinderance to them. Of course they can get around it but why should they have to? Keep inventing.
+barbara reid Never thought of it that way. I do often see birds standing on the perch before entering the house.
Hello sir, the mic is inside your mouth, it's supposed to be outside the mouth, preferably at a distance far enough away to not get any of your air on it.
that silicone gonna take a while till it stop stinking before the bird even try it
Great music ditch the project 👍😂😂😂😂😂😂
You can make an onverted V with silicone to direct water away from the opening. There should be nothing to sit on below the roof. And there should be a drain in case water enters the nesting box.
what is it with the comments of people the design is good so what if there is a perch it is a simple design effective and creative so do not go on with your rubbish about it should not have this or that build your self and modify it to your needs otherwise go and eat bird seed
Here's a few things for constructing a bird house:
Allow enough time.
Use done for you boat templates.
(I learned about these and more on Aviary Magic Method site )
To much music why??
no way to clean out though.
Music is hideous..
Its gone on all newer videos
Three problems: 1. Ditch the lousy music. 2. No provision for cleaning out the birdhouse. 3. Two bottoms (internal circle, and external Trex) Why two?
86 the music, it adds nothing the video and makes it hard to hear what your saying. You did not provide a way to clean the house between seasons.
I did! watch any of my newer videos got rid of the music and on birdhouses always have easy method to clean out. th-cam.com/video/E8amA9JXCYc/w-d-xo.html
I don’t think it could be any easier
More music and louder please
You need steel toe boots?
nice , dont make it to deep so that the yong birds can't clim out ,plastic is slippery ,you need to clean the house every year ,if it is all glue ??????? not so easy
sorry man, but a hole at yours first project big enough for squirrel but not dip.Thanks.
I wish you didn't have that music playing in the background.
you can't clean it out every year
Please reconsider your music. It overpowers your voice and is annoying. Birdhouse looks great!
silicon stinks for weeks , no bird will go there
Tell that to the birds that nest in it each spring LOL
@@DIYeasycrafts Birds sense of smell is very poor!
But bro its too small for birds
Go to woodprix if you'd like to build it yourself.
Nice bro I am India
Why the music?
It's too hard to listen ur words due to that stupid loud music....
There are several components to doing a pro job. One place I discovered that successfully combines these is the Aviary magic method (google it if you're interested) without a doubt the most helpful info that I've seen. look at this extraordinary website.
A eastern pheobe couldn’t fit it that hole
Many thanks, I've been looking for "simple birdhouse designs for kids" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Daniliana Birdfly Babar - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my cousin got amazing success with it.
Cheers for this, I been tryin to find out about "easy bird house plan" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Daniliana Birdfly Babar - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my buddy got great success with it.
I didn't watch the clip because like many youtubers, you have the music to loud. Is this goofy music really nessasary?
Please do not use a circular saw like that!
To much music
No need for any of the silicone. You will drive away the birds with the chemical smell. Just find a way to use stainless steel screws. No silicone. Also how do you take the house apart to clean it. Obviously you know nothing of bird house building.
you have no way of cleaning it
How do the birds clean them out in the wild...mmmmmm THINK about that..
Larry Atwell they make new nests in the wild
I have a robin in my homemade box under my deck. I pull it out all the time. She’s been back for 5 years now.. haven’t seen her yet
Your video would be *MUCH IMPROVED* if you would can that horrible music!
First step....turn off the fucking obnoxious music.
For feck sake lose the music.
