eIRDHoUsE CONSTRUCTION.

Wood is better building material
for birdhouses than metal or earthen-
ware. Entrance holes should be shell
tered by projecting roofs to exclude
rain. All houses should be easy to
open for cleaning. A perch at the en-
trance is unnecessary, and may even
be an objection, as it is frequently
used by English sparrows while they
twitter exasperatingly to frighten off
more desirable occupants. To provide
for proper ventilation, row of small
holes is sometimes bored just beneath
the caves, but there should never be a
ventilating hole lower than the en-
trance, and joints should be made tight.
as drafts of air are dangerous. In case
there is danger that rain may be
driven in through the door, small
drainage hole, which will be covered
by the nest, may be made in the
middle of the floor.
The appearance and durability of
houses are improved by coat of
paint. A neutral shade of green or
gray is suitable for houses mounted in
trees, while those on poles, being con-
spicuolsly placed, lend themselves
tremendously to the landscape when
painted white. Heads of nails and
screws should be set rather deeply
and covered with putty.
In building birdhouses it should be
with the object of attracting particu-
lar species of birds, as the require
ments of the different species vary.

The house shown in Figures 1 to

tree stub for the use of swallows
especially, and for these birds the cav
ity should be about by 5 inches, with
depth of 6 inches and an entrance
! 1a inches in diameter. 1t can be
cleaned by simply lifting the box from
its base. Buebirds and wrens, as well
as swallows, nest in this style of
house, though they prefer cavity 8
inches deep. Figure illustrates
house to be attached to tree. 1t can
be opened for cleaning by turning
button and removing the bottom. This
house is easy to build and if suitably
proportional is adapted to great va
riety of birds. Plans are furnished
for two sizes-one for bluebirds and
the other for screech owls or sparrow
hawks.
The flicker house shown in Figure G
is designed to be placed on a post or
the stub of a tree. The cavity should
be by Z inches and 16 to 10 inches
deep. The roof can be lifted in the
same way that a stopper is removed
from bottle. A house suitable for
members of the woodpecker family
and also for nuthatches and titmice,
including chickadees, is shown in Fig.
ure 7. 1t is attached to boles of trees.
The bottom is removable. Woodpeck.
ers demand rather deep cavity for
nesting-from ~ to 10 inches. The
other dimensions required are about
6 by 6 inches, with an entrance from
IN to 2 inches in diameter. An inch
or so of sawdust should be placed in
the bottom of the house, as ,yoodpeck-
ers do not gather nest materials.
