An additional enhancement for the bird fancier are the requirements shown for many species of birds that are the intended "residents" of these bird houses and bird feeders. If you are considering building a bird house or a bird feeder for your yard or garden, then begin with browsing through Ronald Tarjany's 65 Birdhouses And Bird Feeders!

Expect to use a Tablesaw or Miter Saw when using this book. There is an acknowledgement at the beginning of the book, but no other text throughout other than the dimensions of each house. No cutting recommendations, etc., just dimensioned drawings. Don't expect too much from this book.

Plenty of ideas to choose from with lots of illustrations. Some building skills would be helpful. Simple kits to build can be found at houses4birds.com

this book is not an instruction manual. but, it is a collection of very detailed line drawings on plans. i love it! most of the plans can be made by a novice wood worker. if you are a scout leader or work with young people at all and are looking for a project book. buy this book. if you are a novice wood worker looking for some e-z projects to make. i would buy this book. i do have other books on bird house building. they don't hold a candle to this one. most of the houses in this book look very easy to make. the author puts every detail that you will need in the line drawings. but, no actual this is the order that the pieces go together in instructions. this does not bother me. i was looking for a plan book and not a wood working insruction manual. so it you are a novice wood worker or more adavnaced in your skills. i would highly recomend this book. if you want an instruction manual go some where else.

This book was a huge disappointment. It offers nothing but some drawings with dimensions. There are no hints, no instructions, nothing. If I weren't fairly skilled at figuring these things out, this book would be a total waste to me.
