Attract birds to the site and is useful and pleasant. It is useful because they destroy insect pests, nice - listen to their singing and watch the behavior of birds. Therefore, the idea comes to many - to build a birdhouse with their own hands. People over 40 years old, at the same time they can remember school years: the boys made houses for birds in the labor lessons. But not only the owners of the plots make birdhouses. Often, residents of apartment buildings hang them on trees near the house, on balconies and loggias.
Singing birds I want to be laid out in proud
What to do
The answer is unequivocal - from wood, with hardwood: coniferous too smallests. Resin can fall out a plumage, which will lead to the death of the bird. Do not use both Phaneur, chipboard or OSB. In such benchings, someone rarely settles: glue and binders scaretings. For the same reason, we collect and fasten the blanks only on nails or screws, we do not use the glue.
Most often, the birdhouses make from the boards. Board thickness - not less than 20 mm. This thickness is enough to preserve the stable temperature inside, which is important when making chicks. Moreover, the boards are needed unstage, in any case, the inner surface should be rough. The front of the velocity is also specifically scratched: on these sweeps of chicks and birds rise to the pilot.
The wall under the pilot is additionally scratched
So that when assembling the board, they did not crack, the holes are pre-drilled under the screws. Diameter - a little less than the diameter of the screw.
Dimensions of birdhouses for different types of birds
To attract different types of birds, the size of the house must change. Mostly the proportion of the "body" and the pilot. The task is to create more familiar for this type of nesting.
| View of birds | DNA dimensions | Burning height | Sizes of Letter | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Skvortsy | 10 * 10 cm | 30-40 cm | about 5 cm | The pilot is preferable round |
| Synicnik - Tits, Mukholovka, Gorikhvostka, Sparrows, Sparrow Owls | 10-12 cm | 25-30 cm | 30-35 mm | Round's pilot |
| Small blue or muffin (flousers, horizontal) | 10 * 8 cm | 25-30 cm | 30 mm | |
| Halfdun. | 10 * 8 cm | 20 cm | Height 33-50 mm in full width of the wall | Letter - longitudinal gap in the entire width of the front wall |
As you can see on the table, only the height changes basically. The width remains more or less stable. There is no more birdhouses. They will stimulate to postpone more eggs, and a large number of bird chicks will not fully fill, as a result, the offspring will be weak and most likely will die.
What birds will settle to what kinds
If you want to attract the wagtail, make a birdhouse laid out: the height of it will be 10-12 cm, and the width is 35-40 cm, with the same small pillar located approximately in the middle. The wigsaw weak legs, and they can not climb along the high wall to the pilot. Therefore, such a choice of nesting. In the shaken, it is also preferably preferably before entering a period of about 10 cm wide - so that they can go on foot.
Bunner for shaking
Some explanations require half lounge. Some birds are accustomed to nest not in the wrappers, but in the recesses between the branches. In a very closed artificial nesting, they will fall rarely. If you want to attract, for example, a gray flies, make her a small box, in which the pilot goes to the entire width of the front wall.

Herdspire for gray flies
Just keep in mind that there are also some types of protein in such houses.
There is one more nesting, which often like the birds more - a doupel. This is a birdhouse, stupid from a piece of logs. Frequently cutting on the scrabble suitable size dried wood, turning it into apartments for birds. The height and diameter are selected based on the sizes that were indicated for a conventional nest. The bottom and roof in the doupel are made from a piece of blackboard.
Doupelka - Bedroom from the log
If in the bunch of the flyer is small, the lid make removable. This is necessary in order to handle insides from parasites. Sometimes it happens: birds live in a row for several years, and then stop sharing. Just inside the parasites spread. After removing the lid and throwing out the old nesting, the nesting book is covered with boiling water. This happens enough. You can also process inside with a weak solution of manganese (slightly pink).
Safety
It's a shame and sorry when the nests of the birds are ruined. They are mainly engaged in cats, and even - Dyatli. Therefore, when you make a birdhouse with your own hands, increase the ropes of the roof. In almost all drawings, it is drawn with a length of 5 cm. In order to protect the birdhouse from the cat, it is necessary to make it so that he cannot reach the fly. For this, the roof should perform at least 7 cm than 7 cm, and it is better to add a couple more - for large instances. This protrusion will also protect against oblique rain: the likelihood that the chicks will get intohabit even less.
Another option is to fill nails on the lid. The cat is unlikely to be born, but it will not be freely to settle down - they will not give nails.
Make the protrusion of the roof more so that the cat can reach the pits
To protect chicks from Dyatlov there are several ways:
- Choose Tin Town:
- Drink several nails around the pilot;
- To nourish the wood overlay from the wood, the fibers of which go horizontally.
All this will prevent Dyatlu to expand the flyer and get to the eggs or chicks. The last trick is a lining - also complicate the cat's challenge: it's more complicated to reach the chick.
Measures against enemies: 1 - from Dyatlov, 2.3 - from cats
From cats and possible occupiers are still saved using protective belts. Make them or from tin strips or from the "brooms". You will understand everything, looking at the picture. Note that the distances need to withstand up to 3-4 cm. Then animals will not be able to jump over protective belts. There should be no bitch, feeders and other possible supports between them and the nest.
Where to hang
Where to hang a birdhouse - also science. If you climb gathered on the tree, then at an altitude of at least 2.5-3 meters. Near the selected tree should not be trails or lively meta - well, bench, etc.
Choose a place too need correctly
Choosing a place on the tree, consider that there should not be large branches in front of the velocity: the raid must be free. At the same time, it is necessary to deploy it so that I watched the "window" south. All this increases the chances of the fact that tenants will settle in your breeder.
Another moment: to bind or sick, so that the "house" was tilted a little forward. So the chicks will be easier to get out, and less rain will score.
How to make a birdhouse do it yourself: photo report
We will make the easiest option - with a flat roof. As already mentioned, we take unwashed hardwood boards with a thickness of 20 mm. To avoid the title, work better in gloves. According to the drawing, cut the workpiece. Try so that the sleeves are smooth and at right angles: there should be no cracks. Immediately after hatching chicks without plumage, and the slightest draft can destroy them. Therefore, all the edges should be even.

Drawing of the Bunny Size
Take long thin nails - diameter 1.5-2 mm, length 4-5 cm and hammer. We start the assembly. To the front part at right angles you feed the sidewalls. For each - three or four nails.
We begin to build a nesting book
Turning over the workpiece by flying down, take the bottom, insert it, align. Nail to sidewalls. Top of covering the back wall, also nail. Do not forget about connecting the back wall with sidewalls.
Insert the bottom and nail the rear wall
Turning up upwards upwards, nail the bottom and from this side. It remains to collect the roof. We take the remaining square - the duple of the bottom, you nail it so that the trumpor sticking in front is at least 5 cm (better than 7-10 cm, as they said before). If nails stick out, bend them.
We collect and install the roof
The roof simply should insert tightly. If something interferes, we work out the chisel. That's all, the birdhouse is readily ready.
Birds will fit and without a stranger
Often under the pillar set a pranch. Need it or not? If there are enough branches around - it is better not to do. If there are no branches, you need or make a barbell or a small shelf, although you can do without them. Why? Because cats are also based on them and reach the chicks with the support of them easier.

Making a duplinka - Birdhouse from a log
If the pennate people will have a choice - to settle in a dupelka or a birdhouse from the boards - will choose a doupel. It looks more like the usual "housing" - the hollow, there are no cracks from the sides and, because - warmer. They are less visible on the tree, which means more chances to grow offspring. These are the advantages from the point of view of birds. Now about the advantages from the point of view of "manufacturers": a fallen tree is going to work, and it is free. If found suitable - it is enough for a large number of birdhouses. About minuses - do the dupels longer and more difficult: you have to manually throw out the core, leaving the walls intact.
From the dupelinka
Now about how to find a suitable rust. The aspen is best suited: it units usually from the inside, and it remains solid along the outer edge. Therefore, we go to search in the Osinnik, and there among the fallen trees we are looking for suitable: we cut several trunks. It is important to find with a whole edge and rotten middle - work will go faster.
It is advisable to find such aspen - with the campaign core, but strong edges
Often, such trees have a rotten bought, from which the appearance of them is unsightly. Corara believes, log in the cottage or to the house. There we cut the suitable size on the scrabbles. Dimensions are determined by diameter. For the nesting, the inner diameter of the duper should be 22-30 cm, respectively, the outer - 27-36 cm. For the sinternik, segments are approached closer to the vertex - the inner diameter of 15-22 cm, outdoor - 19-26 cm.
The height of the Churbak also depends on the type of house - a blue-tested cinemifer with a height of 20-40 cm (but willingly settle down in low), a birdhouse - from 30 to 45 cm. Sawing Try to make that SCOS, which will be bottom, smooth, and at the top - under a slight inclination - Sedips from the roof box. For the manufacture of roofs and bottoms, there will be trimming boards, you can use unedged and porch.

We take a sliced chorbachka and begin to pick the core chisel. The task is to catch a through hole. After that, even rigid wood is easier to rock. In order for the process to go faster, you can drill holes drill, then break the jumper by the chisel.
Task - Drop through hole
As a rule, the rotten core ends quickly, then you have to slip pieces of wood with the help of a chisel and hammer or a queen. But with a hole in the center it is much easier - the longitudinal pieces are rolled, work comes at normal speed.
We work chisel and hammer
The walls should remain about 1.5-3 cm. The middle is trying to work out more or less smooth, without large chips. When the walls are chosen, we do the flyer. If there are bitch - you can wipe it. Or take a kork and drill, drill in a suitable place. If the crowns are not, we take the usual drill, drill in a circle of the hole, then, with the help of the same chisels, cut the remaining jumpers.

On the bottom there is a piece of boards with a thickness of 2-2.5 cm. It is nailed with nails or fasten to the screws. The protruding parts are cut as closer to the walls.
Fake bottom
It remains to nail the roof. Same board or horn. Before screwing the screws, drill holes, otherwise the board can split.
Fake a roof
Actually, you have already done a birdhouse with my own hands, it remains to protect him from the attempted dyatlov. If there are swirls on the walls, it is desirable to wash with plasticine (ordinary, child). They can also close the gaps that stayed between the bottom and the roof and the walls: it is rarely obtained to fit all clearly. If you do not want to smear the plasticine, you can cross the pen's rope. It is applied to the gap, and drive into it, a flat screwdriver (in general, there are special blades for cacked, but they are big - it's time, and for "one-time use" to buy them ...). If "goes" badly, you can knock on the handle with a hammer.

How to decorate the nesting house
While the birdhouse is new, it looks relatively good, but after a couple of months he will darken. For birds, this is good - it will become less noticeable and they will only win. But not all homeowners like to look at such an unsightly "decoration." To improve the appearance, the birdhouse can be painted, only the colors of choosing the "natural" - brown, gray, shades of green. You want your birds to survive? So their nest must be masked, and not to paint into all the colors of the rainbow, attracting all possible predators.

We hope now you can not only make a birdhouse with your own hands, but also competently (from the point of view of birds) to decorate it.
Drawings with dimensions
Some denunciation drawings are in the text, I post some more in this section. To correct the size under the planned "residents" is probably not a problem. Also note that the tab is given for a 2 cm thickness board. With an increase in or reducing thickness, adjustments are necessary.
