Natural Chickadee House

The volume and 1 3/8" side entrance hole in these birdhouse plans are designed to accommodate a broad range of bird species.

Red cedar panels are fastened with corrosion resistant screws which easily turn into pre-drilled pilot holes. It has 128 cu inches of interior volume and two ventilation openings in the back

This bird house should not need extraordinary monitoring as
1 3/8" is usually too small for English Sparrows.

It can be assembled with the entrance hole on either side and mounted on a wall, fence, or tree. See each species page for specific mounting instructions. These birds may nest in this box:

(see instructions below)

Assembled with Entrance Hole on Right or Left Side. See Assembly Instructions Below.

Assembly

Decide whether entrance hole is to be on the left or right side of the nest box. See examples above and below.

Align front panel (triangular piece with entrance hole) with base (largest piece) so that entrance hole is toward the top of the base. The top of the base has two extra pilot holes which accept screws to fix the roof.

Also align front panel with three holes in the base which are inset from the edge. The base can be flipped side for side and end for end as pilot holes are bored completely through. Note the front panel is inset from the edge of the base and the back panel is flush with the edge.

Attach front and back panels to the base with wood screws using a screwdriver (screws included). Back panel must be aligned so that pilot holes accept bottom panel screws. Leave screws loose until bird house if completely assembled.

Attach bottom panel to front and back panels with wood screws. Note extra pilot holes are on the end of the bottom panel. Attach roof to the base and bottom panels.

Mount bird house securely with large screws through pilot holes in back panel.
