  • Check out how I built this cool little round birdhouse using a couple of old license plates and some reclaimed plywood leftover from our house renovation. It's a really unique design that's fairly simple to build. Try it yourself!

      +mascottie Yeah, after buying these, I looked on ebay to find some different states/colors and was surprised at some of the prices.

    If you predrill the holes before bending the plate it might be easier. Thank you for your video.

    you'll need to drill holes on bottom, for drainage, as well as 4 holes in the back

      +Brandon Kirkham Thanks! I have several of them I'll put on my channel here this Spring, but I thought I'd start with my favorite.

    FYI, you can set your compass to the radius = 3.5"

      +Steven Gallyer Yeah, I should have been more clear about why I did the square first. I was using it to create the crossed guide lines for the hole & perch layout as well as to center up the plates when installing them.

    Where do you find license plates ? Here in Maryland the DMV is strict on keeping license plates, I've been looking for some for years but no luck in the tri-state area .

      I actually found them on Craigslist. A guy was selling an old milk crate full of them for $30. I ended up paying less than a $1 a piece for them which turned out to be an awesome deal. You can find them on Ebay as well.

    - Wonder what the temp rose to in all that metal ???

  • @Bradyvilleboy
    @Bradyvilleboy 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The metal is ok if the bird house is mounted in the shade.

    You will cook the bird and eggs with that metal plate outdoor.

    No ventilation. Bad news.

    A perch is where a Brooklyner sits when he's out of the city. This is the cutest thing I've ever shared on TH-cam, and you're all too young to appreciate it. Shame.

    I guess that you're prepared to dismantle these jobs at the end of each season to remove the old nests.

  • @crosspecans

    size of the hole decides what bird lives in them outside. your hole is too large for any bird that can live in such a small house. also ive heard the perch is not good for the family of birds inside. it just makes it easier for the predators. its also better if you dont put any clear coat paint on them. toxic to birdies. a few air holes in the house in the sides our back (sm drilled holes) are good too. your bird houses are cute.

      +crosspecans I've had one of these hanging in my backyard for the last year, and all the birds that tried to get into it were to big for the 1-1/2" hole, so that's why I thought I'd try a 2" hole in this one.

      sorry guess i was wrong.

    Why didn't you face the plates the same direction?

    I cannot imagine any bird using this nest. The metal would get so hot you would finish up with fried eggs or roasted bird. However, would be fine as a point of interest.

    Not suitable. Metal heats up in the sun turning this into an oven and can fry the contents.
