More than Just Wood Birdhouse Kits

With the nesting season approching for many wild birds, real estate is harder to come by.  Cavity nesting birds must work harder to find suitable housing to nest and raise their brood.  Birdhouse kits are a wonderful way to fulfill this need and more.  They are great projects for kids’ church or school groups, and family projects too.

These kits have come a long way, and today there are more than just the standard wood birdhouse kits available.  Many recycled birdhouse and bird feeder kits are being seen.  These are made of poly lumber-or recycled plastics and last much longer, with no rotting or splitting.  A one time purchase to last many nesting seasons for wild birds.  Plus the fun activity of creating the house instills a sense of stewardship with children.
