Unusual birdhouses for birds. 395 Photos of original and beautiful ideas

Round birdhouse

By chance, the author of this project had many oak planks left after installing the parquet floor. All are the same size 7 x 13 cm. It took a while to figure out what to do about it. But the idea was not long in coming, so it appeared several round birdhouses of original design. If you liked it, then making such a birdhouse with your own hands is not at all difficult.

Quite unusual ideas for a birdhouse

Round birdhouse

How do you like this birdhouse idea?

• Take an old car number or just a metal plate of the same size and drill holes every 5 cm along the edge of the hole.
• Saw two circles from a sheet of plywood 1.5 cm thick and make holes 3-4 cm in one hole for entry, and just drill a couple of holes in the other for ventilation.
• Wrap the license plate around two wooden circles and secure with screws.
• There will be a small space in the middle, so you need to find a small bar, and fix it at the junction of the ends of the number plate, it will also be needed to fix the hook for hanging the birdhouse.
• If you wish, you can still make a perch.

It was an interesting 30-minute project.

Birdhouse - Cracked Egg

The feature of this project is that !!!that the bird seems to hatch from the egg every time it comes out of the hole of the notch. Construction -wooden birdhouse square, with an egg-shaped front wall. You just have to be creative and believably color the front part.
From 5 wooden parts you make a simple open box, this is the main body of the birdhouse. Then you need to cut the facade in the shape of an egg and make a hole in the notch.

The author secured the back of the box with 4 screws without glue, so that the back could be easily removed and, if necessary, clean the inside of the birdhouse.

To fix the facade, apply glue to the edges of the box. Press it to the back of the egg and pinch. When the glue dries, you can proceed to the artistic part. Simple, cheap and fun!

1. Paint the roof first.
2. Remember to apply a primer around the inlet and under the eaves of the roof. Make sure that all places where you will not fasten the stones are painted.
3. Gather the materials. Beautiful pebbles, a twig for perch, a few bottle caps. Go to the hardware store and buy a can of polyurethane.
4. Paste all prepared materials on the birdhouse in any way that suits you.

Creative birdhouse in the style of driftwood art

From English, Driftwood translates as driftwood, fin, that is, pieces of wood, branches, driftwood that are thrown by the waves onto the shore. Crafts from this material are called Driftwood art, it’s like the sculptors, when the artist in stone already sees the future sculpture. Driftwood art is a very extensive topic, if you are interested, you can type in Google and look at the work of masters of Driftwood Art.

As for this project, then in fact it is an ordinary birdhouse. At first, a box is made that must meet all the necessary requirements of a functional birdhouse, but decor, this is your creativity.

Detailed instructions are on the site of the author of the project, a link under step by step photos.

Birdhouse Birdhouse

Do you have old shoes? Do you like birds? If you answered yes to both questions, read on, this information is for you. As you see in the photo, from old shoes turns out to be a good birdhouse. 

You just need to make two holes, for the entrance and for the perch. Find a metal plate, cut to the desired size and bend in half. That is, make a roof. In principle, this can be done from any material - plastic, wood, the main thing is not to leak. Then glue it to the top of the boot.

That's basically it. Establish a perch and nail or tie to a tree, a fence, a pole.

Old sneakers come in handy too. Your old, worn, unusable, or simply uncomfortable boots can come in handy for birds.

How to make this shoe nesting boxperhaps the instruction is not needed. Just grab your shoes and nail them to the tree. Put in the middle, sawdust, moss, although if the birds have a desire to settle in your shoes, they can do it without you. I hope the birds make a nest out of your old shoes.

And if you have old high bots, birdhouse can be improved a bit.

You just need to cut a circle out of plywood to fit the boot, drill a hole for the tap hole in it and fix it, as shown in the photo.

Birdhouse from the boot

A

why

and

no?

If you can make a birdhouse out of a boot, then a boot is also suitable.

Read the detailed manufacturing instructions on our website at the link
 https://i.expert-h.com/en/skvorechnik/podrucznyh-materialov

Decorate as you like. Hang the boot on a tree or other support approximately 2.5 to 3 m above the ground.

Here is another example from wikihow in pictures.

1. Find an old boot and wash it with warm water and soap.
2. Fill the sock inside with a clean rag.
3. Glue the hook to the back of the boot, it will be needed for attaching to a tree.
4. Drive in a small but sturdy U-shaped nail to support the weight of the boot and its occupants.
5. Attach the boot to the side of the tree trunk.
6. Put the hook on the U-shaped nail and make sure it sits firmly.

Depending on the weather, a birdhouse can last a season or two. If after the first season it remains in good condition, remove the boot from the hook and clean for the winter in the barn. It’s better to put it in a stocking to prevent the entry of insects, and in the spring hang it on a tree again.

Flower pot birdhouse

Since this bird house is small, it is ideal for installation in dense vegetation. The only difficult part of this project is to make an inlet in a flower pot. The hole should be 26 mm in diameter. Drilling best with a special drill for ceramic tiles is not expensive. But it is also possible with an ordinary drill, just stick a piece of adhesive tape with a hole, make a small recess with something sharp and drill without pressure, at low speeds, blowing off crumbs and pouring with some water.

True, if the pot is covered with glaze, then you need to be especially careful, but if not in a hurry, then everything will be fine.

Instruction manual:

Define place to enter and drill a hole with the largest drill.

Then increase it to the desired size with a round file and an emery cloth. This may take up to 30 minutes. Perhaps you know another way, but be careful, patience is indispensable here. Once the entrance is large enough, the most difficult part of the work is completed. But be careful ... it’s not the right time to accidentally drop a flower pot!

Make plywood floor. Only from plywood, do not use chipboardthat absorbs water like a sponge. Cut the round base with a saber saw or hacksaw 5 mm more than measured. In the center of the plywood base, drill a hole large enough for the eye bolt to pass through.

Set the flower pot upside down on top of the plywood base.

Put the washer on the eyebolt and pass it through the drain hole and the plywood base.

Install another washer at the end of the eyebolt and secure with a nut. (Be careful not to overtighten the nut - you may break the pot.)

You can hang a birdhouse. Using a hook or chain, hang the house 2.5 - 3 m above the ground and wait for the arrival of feathered residents!

Here is another example birdhouse terracotta potonly with a roof.

And so it is possible make a birdhouse out of a flower potwithout making a side hole, but by making a special insert from wood or plywood.

Necessary materials:

• Terracotta pot
• A small sheet of plywood or a piece of board.
• Cardboard for the template.
• Jigsaw
• Large Countersink Drill
• Big screws

Manufacturing procedure

1. The first step is to make a template and fit it so that it fits perfectly into the pot.
2. Paint the pot of your choice.
3. While the paint is drying using a cardboard template, use a jigsaw to cut a circle out of plywood.
4. Countersink a hole for the tap hole, anywhere, only no less than 5 cm from the edge.
5. Now check how tightly the circle cut from plywood enters the pot.
6. Screw the screws into the pole and secure the birdhouse.

If you don’t have pottery, it’s even easier make a birdhouse out of a plastic pot. They are cheaper and you can very easily make several colorful bird houses for the garden.

Will need to prepare:

• Plastic flower pots 3 pcs.
• Rust-Oleum 2X slate paint of your choice
• Primer Rust-Oleum 2 X
• Plywood or board
• 8mm dowels 3 pcs.
• Newspaper or some fabric

The manufacturing procedure of the birdhouse is the same as in the previous example, so I will not repeat it. One difference, here is added a perch, but this is at your discretion, most masters recommend doing without this detail.
