4.0 out of 5 stars
Great 4 the basics. Want detailed plans? Go elsewhere.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Birdhouse Book: The Easy Guide to Attracting Nesting Birds (Paperback)
I want to know the basics...which birds use birdhouses, & what the basic dimensions for my targeted species are. What nesting materials do thew use...etc.. This book does a great job of doing that. I do NOT want my birdhouses to be clones of some boring plan out of a book. Get creative! Use this basic info & create your own unique backyard!Sorry previous writer was so disapointed, but he's right in one respect......if you want assorted detailed building plans...go elsewhere.

Just the basics,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Birdhouse Book: The Easy Guide to Attracting Nesting Birds (Paperback)
This book contains only one simple plan. It is a good book for novice woodworkers or bird watchers. However (like all books from the Stokes') the book is very interesting and easy to read. It provides a good foundation from which to learn the basics of bird house construction. More experienced woodworkers will be disappointed with this book and would be better served by purchasing a book of bird house plans.

Always a pleasure but...,

This review is from: The Complete Birdhouse Book: The Easy Guide to Attracting Nesting Birds (Paperback)
I've always liked the Stokes books and CDs. Their love for birds is apparent in all their material. The photographs are rich and lively, and the books are simple yet elegant and informative.
However, if you're interested in building birdhouses, this book will fall short. There's only one plan for the simplest house you can imagine, and anyone who would appreciate the book's other charms probably won't think highly of such a simple birdhouse. There are some interesting houses pictured, but little about how to build them...
