Having a home for your feathered friends will encourage the birds to keep visiting your backyard. If you have a garden, you want to attract birds to establish a healthy balance. Birds consume thousands of insects, especially in the spring when they’re feeding their young. To help support this environment, I’m made DIY Birdhouse Plans from scrap wood. If you have scrap wood laying around, you could easily build this birdhouse for your backyard.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
how would you alter this plan to give make it possible to open the back or front to clean it in the fall?
Very creative idea. Could be made in any shape. Love this project.
I love bird houses & have several. Yours is just beautiful!!! I am definitely going to try to make it. I do have a question that I hope someone can answer. All of my bird houses are anchored down tightly in my tree, because I thought that if it move or swings in the wind it would frighten the birds & they would not use it. Am I wrong about that? I see that you hung yours; do birds use it, or is it only for decoration?
Great Job!
