Tree & Violet-green Swallow Birdhouse Plans
Tree & Violet-green Swallow Birdhouse Plans
Bluebirders often place tree swallow birdhouses within groups of bluebird houses because they protect their territory from sparrows, grackles and other intruders, yet are good neighbors to bluebirds.
 
Swinging Wren Chickadee Birdhouse Plans

A swinging birdhouse for Wrens, Chickadees and Swallows. It can also be installed in a fixed position on walls, posts, trees …

Side Mounted Birdhouse Plans
A unique birdhouse which can be built with the entrance hole on either of the triangular sides. Its volume and 1 3/8″ entrance hole are suitable for wrens, prothonotary warblers, chickadees, nuthatches, titmice and swallows.
 

Black Phoebe, Barn & Cliff Swallow Shelter Plans
Black Phoebe, Barn & Cliff Swallow Shelter Plans
Black phoebes and barn and cliff swallows build mud nests on shear vertical faces under various objects that provide overhead shelter. There are cases where they have been attracted to shelters made specially for them when no others exist nearby.
One shelter has a 2″ by 8″ ledge, approximately a 8″ high gable roof, an open front and partially open sides. Another has a 2″ by 6″ ledge, approximately a 6″ ceiling, an open front and partially open sides.
Usually there is no need for these designs. Their nests adhere securely to vertical faces and they’re quite particular about their nesting places. Nevertheless, even if the shelters don’t attract birds, they make cute ornaments.
 
Purple Martin House with Removable Front Panel
Purple Martin House
Here, there is only an unfinished purple martin house design and it’s open for discussion. Panels which cover all 4 compartment fronts on each side are secured only by inserting in place with no fasteners. We think it will make cleaning and maintenance easier.
 
Chimney Swift Nest
Chimney Swift Nest
No chimney swift tower designs here. There are some on the internet. They are major projects and we are not inclined to draw let alone build one. Chimney swifts seem to find sufficient numbers of abandoned brick and mortar chimneys and are commonly observed most any evening. Chimney swifts are not in the Hirundinidae family, but are included here for their characteristics.
