5.0 out of 5 stars Great guide, July 23, 2006
By Jack Sanders (Ridgefield, CT USA) - See all my reviews
I was sent this then-new book seven or eight years ago to review for my newspaper column on birds, and found it to be an excellent guide, not only on how to build boxes for all sorts of cavity-nesting birds, but also how to deal with problems like predators and pests. I built one of the boxes; it went together well and has served quite a few feathered families over the past five or six years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book! Lots of info on nestboxes.., March 26, 2006
By S. Stamper (Vandalia, OH) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was interested in putting up some birdhouses (nestboxes) in my backyard and trying to attract some of the more exotic birds, etc... I checked out about a dozen books form the library.. Well, this one hands down was the best...

Book starts out by going over the birds you would want to attract to your nestboxes, with pictures and bios on all the birds, such as bluebirds, chickadees, titmouses, etc.... Then it goes into the nestboxes, pro and cons of certain nestboxes.. and tells you how to alter each nestbox to attract the birds at the beginning of the book (mainly you just drill a size hole)....
While watching birds in my backyard or building a nestbox, I have consulted this book over and over.. It's a great book, and I have no idea why the other reviewer gave it such a bad review..

This book was terrible. I couldn't believe how bad it was. It was very out of date and made no sense. Read more
