In addition to their entertaining acrobatics they are wonderful bug eaters, especially for mosquitos here in Alaska. The Violet Green swallow and tree swallow migrate to southcentral Alaska around May 1st. In the wild they chose to nest in abandoned woodpecker nest sites but these are relatively rare and so the birds will take up residence in anything that meets their requirements. Manmade nest boxes are easy to construct and install. The following instructions, illustrations and guidelines will guide you through the process.

Amateur Woodworker: Bird's Nesting Box

Votes:0
Bird's Nesting Box As winter descends upon us, it is time to skip ahead and begin considering the spring (it's certainly one way of ignoring the darker evenings!) In particular, now is the time to start building a bird nesting box so that when the spring does arrive, your local birds have a nice new home. By putting the box out in the winter, any human-related smells (such as the smell of the varnish) will have merged nicely into the more expected aroma of nature by the time the birds come knocking on the door.

Attracting and Managing Purple Martins

 Votes:0
Over one million North Americans put up housing for Purple Martins. Unfortunately, many of these folks are unable to attract breeding martins. The advice given here will increase your chances of attracting martins. Once martins nest at your location, they will come back every year if you manage the site properly. Landlords who lose their entire colony from one year to the next often suspect their 'flock' died in a storm during migration or was poisoned by pesticides on their wintering grounds. These scenarios are unlikely; the martins that share a breeding site do not migrate or overwinter as a group. The reason for total colony loss is most often the result of something that happened in the landlord's own back yard during the nesting season. Good management practices can prevent or minimi Read More

Eastern Bluebird Nesting Box Children can build this nest box with adult help. It?s easy! Be sure to read all of the instructions before you begin building! An Eastern Bluebird nest box can be built from one piece of lumber, 1? x 6? x 6?. Use rough-cut lumber: western cedar, poplar, rough sided pine. Eastern Bluebirds can hang onto the rougher wood better than the smooth wood. Do not paint the nesting box. - Measure and mark the wood as shown above. Cut with a saw. Drill the air holes and entry hole. The entry hole should be 1.5? across. If it's too big, larger birds can take over the nest box. - Use GALVANIZED nails. They will not rust. - Nail together one side, the front, the floor, the roof, and the back. Follow the sketches for position. - The second side (swing side) uses only 3 nails Read More

Birdboxes T he highly specialized needs of the Western Bluebird require careful attention to detail, not only in building the most successful type of nest box, but also in selecting the best possible site for nest box placement. Please contact us via email at email@prescottbluebird.com or phone the PBRP at (503) 245-8449 if you need a nest box or have any questions regarding our boxes. We provide mealworms to nesting parents and hatchlings during periods of cold, wet weather when the parents would not be able to find adequate insects to feed themselves and the hatchlings. The lid of a margarine or yogurt container secured with a tack on the top of a nest box is a pretty good holder for the worms.

Birds - bird feeders - feeding birds - kids activities

DINNER? IT'S FOR THE BIRDS! Hi! We have talked a bit about bird houses. Now let's look at what we can do to help provide the birds with food. Bird feeding isn't just a winter activity; it might surprise you to learn that even in spring, food is still scarce for our feathered friends. The temperatures are usually cool enough that many insect populations haven't emerged, and that's sad news for those birds who eat insects. Also, the fruit eating birds won't see their favorite foods naturally appearing until harvest! Plus, everyone is always so eager to get outdoors as soon as Spring arrives, that it is the perfect time to get yourself involved with bird feeding and bird watching. Then, by the time winter arrives, those birds who over-winter in your area will know where the food is. Of course Read More

Bluebird House Plans by Marshall Brain If you have kids, and if they belong to Cub Scouts, Brownies, Indian Guides, Indian Maidens, etc., then you know how hard it can be to come up with good, interesting, meaningful projects that the kids can finish in a single meeting. This article describes how to create a bluebird house kit that is easy to produce and costs very little. You can use the kits as a youth project, or you can assemble them yourself and put them around your property if you are interested in attracting bluebirds (see the links below for help on creating a "bluebird trail"). If you have a lot of grandkids, you could make a set of the kits and give them to the kids as Christmas presents.

Box Instructions

Building a Nest Box First Things First: Before you start hammering and sawing, there are two questions you should ask yourself: 1. What kind of owl do I have a chance of attracting ? The three owls that are the best candidates in North America are the Barred Owl, the Screech Owl and the Barn Owl. If you have never heard one of these in your area, you are not likely to attract it. You know what the barred owl sounds like from OwlCam, and can learn the screech and barn owl's calls at the www.owlpages.com site. Screech owls are the easiest to attract and most compatible with human activity in most parts of North America. I will not address the barn owl, as I have no experience with them. Your local Audubon society or birding clubs can be excellent sources of information. If you are lucky enou Read More

Nebline Newsletter Article Build a Bluebird House This article was submitted by Barb Ogg, PhD, Extension Educator, University of Nebraska Cooperative Extension in Lancaster County. The article appeared in the Nebline Newsletter. Dates: August 1997 and updated October 1998. Bluebirders all over North America know that there is a severe shortage of available nesting cavities for the bluebird. With competition from house sparrows and starlings, we know bluebirds are so desperate for nesting spots that they will attempt to nest in anything that comes close to resembling a nesting cavity. Does this mean we should not be concerned about the type of nest box we use? Absolutely not. Veteran bluebirders are upset when they see stores selling what they would consider a "junk" bluebird box to uninfor Read More

Building Bird Houses and Squirrel Houses

 Votes:0
If you build it, they will come... DIRECTIONS FOR BUILDING BIRD AND SQUIRREL HOUSES My husband Phil began building squirrel houses last spring and hanging them from tall trees--one house to each half acre. Within hours of hanging the houses, however, he found starlings-- rather than squirrels-- moving into his "squirrel houses." Because of the popularity of these houses with the birds, Phil decided to build some nesting boxes for birds. However, he wanted the boxes to be the most desirable dimensions for those species which he hoped to attract. Finding this information on the Internet was not as easy as I had thought it would be. (We finally resorted to finding the information in a book.) So I have put it on a web page for anyone else who might be looking for the ideal measuremen Read More

As well, several sites with other barn owl nest box plans are listed below. The box design shown below has been across the United States for many years. While being somewhat on the snug side, it is readily accepted by owls. This box may be easily attached to a pole or the side of a building.

Easy-to-make Bird Feeders Contact: Diane Relf, Extension Specialist, Environmental Horticulture August 1996 Though many birds migrate south for the winter, there are still some around during the cold months. Food is hard to find, especially when there is snow on the ground. By feeding birds near your home, you can help them out and enjoy the benefits of their presence as well. Birds are great entertainers for winter months when you're tired of television. And in the spring and summer, they'll return your favors by eating the grubs and insects in your lawn and garden. Remember, if you start feeding birds, you should do so all winter. They'll become dependent on your feeder in time. Here are a couple of ideas for easy-to-make bird feeders.

Martins have been nesting in human-supplied gourds for hundreds of years.

Help A Habitat - Build a Bird House

 Votes:0
[ Plans for bird houses, or nest boxes. ] Build a Bird House Many species of birds require a hole in a tree, known as a "tree cavity," in order to build a nest and raise young. Birds such as bluebirds, owls, woodpeckers, and chickadees cannot build a nest unless they find the right size cavity and entrance hole. Since people don't like to leave dead trees standing, cavities for nests are not as plentiful as they once were. We can help our feathered friends by building and maintaining homes for them around our yard, school, a local park, farm or business property. Below are plans for three sizes of bird houses, or "nest boxes." Also included is a plan for a shelf for birds (like robins) who prefer a nesting platform. Note that the size of the entrance hole if very important, and must be as Read More

Hummingbird Feeders

 Votes:0
Answers Species Science Community Home Hummingbird Feeders Photo © Thomas H. Hogan Jump to: Ants Bees Recipe Cleaning Hummingbirds get the energy they need to maintain their astonishing metabolism primarily from flower nectar and the sugar water they find at feeders (here's the recipe ). For protein and other nutrients, they also eat soft-bodied insects and spiders; I like Bob Sargent's perspective: "Hummers need nectar to power the bug eating machine that they are." Think of them as miniature flycatchers, and sugar is just the fuel for getting their real nourishment. You might try setting out some overripe fruit--banana peels are good--to attract flies for your hummers. If you have developed a particularly entertaining method of providing bugs for their dining pleasure, I'd be m Read More

Learn the Proper Placement and Maintenance of your Bluebird Houses at Bluebirds Forever

 Votes:0
Check out our bluebird houses! Home Shopping Categories Contact Us CORRECT DIMENSIONS, PLACEMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF BLUEBIRD HOUSES ....Compliments of Bluebirds Forever Bluebirds can readily use our help for housing. Bluebirds cannot excavate their own houses, but rely on old woodpecker holes or rotting trees for their homes. A manmade house is a welcome sight to most bluebirds, however, they tend to be a little more picky than most birds about how their house is designed and where it is located. Follow our guidelines below for the best success with bluebirds. A good bluebird box should have a floor size of 5" x 5", the box height should be between 8 to 12", the entrance hole should be about 6 to 10" above the floor and the diameter of the entrance hole should be 1 1/2". Be sure your boxes Read More

The Barn Owl (Tyto albq)

 Votes:0
The Barn Owl (Tyto alba) The Barn Owl has nearly world-wide distribution,being absent from only the high Latitudes. It has been introduced into some Pacific islands for rat control and is provided nest boxes in Malaysian palm nut groves for the same purpose. While the barn owl is found all over the US, its numbers are particularly high in California and the Southwest. Farmers and ranchers are increasingly attracted to the barn owl's ability to control rodents better than traps,poison,or cats and at no cost. Barn owls in favorable habitats produce large broods once or twice a year. Each young owl as it nears maturity will eat the equivalent of a dozen mice per night if such prey is available. Adult barn owls kill and consume the equivalent of one large rat or gopher per night. The Owl Rehab Read More

The natural look of a wood feeder blends in nicely with the outdoor surroundings. A well made kiln - dried cedar feeder will last many years. A wood hopper feeder is convenient because you just open the top, pour the seed in and it is fairly well protected from the weather such as rain and snow. A good sized feeder can also mean less trips to refill the feeder and that can be an important consideration on the colder Minnesota winter days. If you have Read More
