How Do You Build A Birdhouse For A Blackbird?
Building a birdhouse for a blackbird is a simple project that can add biodiversity to a yard or garden and provide a habitat for birds in areas where deforestation has removed their natural nesting spots. A blackbird birdhouse requires only basic supplies, such as wood that is resistant to water damage. Cedar is perfect for building a blackbird birdhouse. The entire project can be finished in the space of an afternoon, and used to house blackbirds for many years. Drill a hole that is at least an inch and a half in diameter in the center of one of the 8-inch-long cedar sheets. This will provide a place for the birds to enter and exit the birdhouse. Align the 2-inch edge of the board with the hole in it with the 8-inch face of one of the other boards. Ensure that the edges of the boards are flush. Attach the two boards with 4-inch nails. Hammer in one nail every 2 inches. Align the other 2-inch edge of the board with the hole with the 8-inch face of a third board to create a U-shape. Thi
