[@zedwpd]

5 inch hole saw and you dont have to cut the log into two or cut the bottom off, just the top and need no screws for the sides.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

How deep can you go with a 5 inch hole saw????

[@suewhite6827]

often wondered how to hollow out a branch for a birdhouse. Been wanting to do this thanks Ken

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Glad it could help..I hope this gives you some ideas...It always fun to try new ideas..

[@bobygujjar9999]

If you are a bird lover you might like another video that i have.. Identifying birds in your own backyard..kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGqQoWCMe9qIipI..What I feel is some good video on several dozen birds..You might enjoy it..

[@walterking2347]

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Thanks for the comments..So glad you like it..It was a fun project...

[@kimjohnson4941]

I like this, I really like this idea, Charming

[@Roofdriver]

It looks nice. You should have safety equipment on. I'm sure your kids watch this.

[@Roofdriver]

Hard hat, safety glasses, gloves and chaps. Also don't run your saw in the dirt.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Yes you are correct...Shame on me..I should know better

[@henrywild2166]

Very nice video. Very nice project. Very clever.

[@hankhampton2798]

and had to watch this yet again, because i came across a nice piece of wood to work with

[@ROBBANKS666666]

Make a table with the rest! The grain is. Beautiful

[@Backyardprojectguy]

I am working on Flower boxes and I want to make a bench for the garden with the rest..Trying to use it all...Thanks for the idea of a table..I do like it and will try it..Thanks again, I appreciate the idea..

[@ROBBANKS666666]

Ken Deininger You have very nice property what what state is that?

[@Backyardprojectguy]

@@ROBBANKS666666 Hi there...The State is Massachusetts. Part of the New England Area..As you know...The yard is a constant work in progress...I do enjoy it..as I hope you do too..

[@michaelmcguinness4108]

Thanks for putting this up.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Its a fun project..and I''m working on other birdhouses too..

[@derekkelly3399]

This is really a good idea for a natural bird house, I would bet the woodpeckers will love this..Good job my friend, I gave you a thumbs up..

[@donaldramon5382]

very cool, very nice job on this project

[@Frankferra33]

Hey Ken - great video,but one question. Shouldn't there be overhang on both sides and front of the roof to prevent water from getting inside?

[@Backyardprojectguy]

I did wonder about that myself..But I felt I wanted as natural as could be..You might have seem the video clip in the beginning and again at the end where the Downy woodpecker is feeding her young..That video clip was taken in the woods, No over hang there..I was trying to copy that..Just trying new things...Thanks for asking...I appreciate the comment

[@hankhampton2798]

very clever project...I subscribed and also hit Liked

[@kennethjordan6065]

What a great idea for a bird house..I love it!!!!

[@daveduncan8004]

How do you keep the bark from falling off as it dries out?

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Good question..It takes two to three years for the bark to fall off, then you still have a bare wood nesting box.. If you look in the background of the opening shot you can see one on the tree without bark..It been there for five years now...Also notice the woodpeckers and the squirrel have made the opening hole bigger..I now have larger birds nesting in it

[@darlenenelson215]

Hi Ken thank you for another cool bird house video, maybe my hubby could help me with this one :)

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Give it a shot...Its a fun project..Everyone i did comes out a little different..have fun

[@catherinelavernedickinson3620]

Absolutely love the idea. I am going to make one. I just wished you had included in the video the best way to attached it to a tree. I am sure it is quite heavy!! I would hate to see it fall down in years to come. Hopefully you can let me know how to attach it to a tree. thanks

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Yes I should have said something...I used two good size lag bolts..One I took the roof off and two I went through the enterance hole..I needed an extension on the drill and the ratchet to lag it in the hole..Yes the Bird house was heavy....I screwed and 2X4 to the tree placed the bird house on it, and put the two lag bolts on..Then I took the 2X4 off...I hope this helps amd I hope it gives you some ideas...Good luck with your project..

[@Godzilla-du9ex]

Thank you great idea.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

thanks..

[@goldencode7]

Hi Ken, love this all natural birdhouse! Question: at 2:22 you are using a chain saw to hollow out he log. What kind of bench do you have the log cradled in to secure it? Thank you Ken!

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Good question..It is a work bench and I am able to clamp it in..

[@jimkemp163]

Had to watch this again to check out the details

[@adelarschmitt3222]

Parabéns ótimo trabalho um forte abraço desde Brasil

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Obrigado, agradeço o comentário. É um projeto divertido de se fazer..

[@egreenie3819]

Nice! Might have to do one one of these days. That would make a good safe home for a lil' birdie. Not to take away from the way you did it, but I would put a little piece of dowel rod inside by the hole before I screwed it together and a piece outside the hole, just to help them get in and out a little easier. The other thing I would do is put the hole on the opposite side so the rain wouldn't drip down over the hole from the top being sloped towards it. All in all tho, nice project! Thank you!

[@aryanprivilege9651]

What size whole for parrots, can I keep squirrels from nesting and pests? I like corvids and parrots, our quaker parrots and similar are always seen near electric stations (oddly as assume sense electromagnetism) and build nests, but attractive, little too noisy, if too many. Seem safe! Corvids use boxes sometimes, fascinating birds, wonder if could put a camera somehow, don’t know type! Great video, seems unlikely enough holes with forests gone.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Great question..But parrots can range from size of 3 inches to 40 inches..So I'm not sure what kind of parrot you want too attract. The Corvids also vary in size from Blue jays to crows..The covids are mostly open nest birds, not sure if they would choose you bird house....keep squirrels out is a major problem..I had many take up in my owl houses...Keep trying, mother nature will always impress you..Sometime with the biggest surprises..I'm always looking for different ideas..Hope this help..a little

[@aryanprivilege9651]

Thanks! It never occurred to me to attract owls! 🦉 especially would help with protecting my fruit on the trees! Those rodents and thieving awful things wouldn’t hear the silent killers coming! Plus owls belong here, Norway rats do not, though it could be opossums or raccoons too. I was so disappointed to lose first crop of Valencia mangos, they steal everything. I could make different sized ones and hang them on to oak tree, or on house maybe. Just strap to tree! Don’t imagine they want it spinning hanging loosely. Can use the saw dust from hardwood to grow oyster and other expensive mushrooms. I’d be happy with any parrots, even if invasive, my nephew would love to see them grow if could put a camera in a nesting box! Wonder if any here, thanks again! Use non toxic baits, clogs GI and gives rats gas, they aren’t working, even drowning trap. Clever demons! Almost never see an owl, in wild.

[@aryanprivilege9651]

Huge help, forgotten about owls! Would see pellets of fur and bones in north all over forest, but never the owls. We have little burrowing owls here too native, I want a ravenous flock of them!

[@fredforman3386]

had to watch this again..I finally got the piece of wood i wanted to work with

[@johnsimpsons5683]

Where do you buy a tool like that

Its all basic things..used differently

[@loumajoy2105]

What a great Idea and project, Plus such a good looking birdhouse..

[@robertlane7443]

I like this a lot

[@Guttergirl61]

I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!

It was a fun project. And Pretty easy to make...If you have a log and a chain saw...Good with your projects going forward

[@Talonflamez]

Your yard is just insanely beautiful and filled with plants and nature!

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Thank you, I appreciate the comment..We do enjoy the yard very much and we do put some time into it...I do wish I had more money and more time to put into it..

[@grantfoster4169]

Such a cool Project...If you have to take a tree down this is a great idea of what you can do with it..

[@grantfoster4169]

thanks..

[@DR-zt9gs]

Nice job! I built one, but am curious...where did you put the house for the birds? Mine has a bit of weight, so I can't just put it on a pole. Did you use a wood post to mount it up high enough for the birds?

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Excellent question...I used a ladder to put up high in a tree, I used 6 inch lag bolts..If you look at the beginning of the Video, look over my right shoulder and you will see one in the background, hanging on the tree, I made that one last year.

[@gregre052]

Well I'm not a birder but my wife certainly is, and I think I am gonna make one or two of these. PSST..Off topic but I need help. How can I lessen sparrows and swallows and starlings swamping the sites, throwing all the food down and kicking other birds away? Ideas?

[@Backyardprojectguy]

UGH!!! you ask the MILLION Dollar question..I feel your pain about the sparrows & Starlings taken over the feeders...I have ask several Very Intense Birders that question...They told me to try and find the sparrow nest and then take it down before they can hatch the babies..Sparrows and Starlings are not Natural to this country and just over run the natural population..

[@kevinmerk9945]

cool project...and good looking bird house

[@alessandraguy7504]

i love ur videos ! u seem so kind and resourceful :)

[@Backyardprojectguy]

That you for the kind words..I appreciate that..I like helping people and I hope the videos do help people..

[@jeffreylynnpease]

And there it is. Question: how deep should bottom be for wrens. Wondering how far up babies can fly up to hole. Is that a dumb question. Lol. Tjanks

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Great question..because I have seem two different case..I have seen them in a very shallow bird house and I have seem them in one of my Bluebird house, which is 9 inches deep..Babies had no problems, Both had successful family. And the Wren came back the next year in the Bluebird house....Now that I think about it...In the Bluebird house the wren did build up the nest several inches..Hope this helps..

[@jeffreylynnpease]

@@Backyardprojectguy I'm gonna use your idea. I had the misfortune of watching the afyer affects of the destruction done to 2 families of wrens this year by feral cats. Poor little babies. Must be the estrogen pills I have to take with radiation for prostate cancer , but, I almost couldn't get over watching them get killed. I did everything I could to get rid of the cats, but I couldn't watch 24 a day. I've never been so emotional over anything like this and your version of the log tree house seems to be the safest home I can build to get ready for next years babies Getting old I guess. Can't wait to get off these pills lol. Hot flashes. Emotions. Now when I hear women talking about these things, i definitely have sympathy for them. Lol Thanks

[@Backyardprojectguy]

OMG!!!..I hope things work out well for you....I understand your misfortune, I also saw the aggressive sparrow go into a wren nest and throw the babies to the ground...I pick then up and put them back into the nest, only to find them back on the ground the next morning...I would like to get rid of the sparrow..They are an invasive species not natural to our country...

[@jeffreylynnpease]

@@Backyardprojectguy thanks. Keep your creativity flowing.

[@fredforman3386]

What a wonderful idea, great looking birdhouse.....I like it.....I will try one...

[@nikolayvekov3671]

Your birdhouse is beautiful, but do you have to cut down a whole tree for it?! Maybe you didn't find any trees that fell from a storm or wood for heating and fireplaces is not sold near you?!

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Good question...The tree had to come down. It was dieing. I was trying to find things to do with the good parts..I should have said that in the video..UGH!! my bad!!

[@paintilludrop]

Great. Does not need to be that large..research hole sie, depth for the bird you have in area. Very fast.
