Thanks Phil; you can't make too many bird boxes and they make good presents for friends, Thanks for the vid, regards, Fred

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Thank you Fred 👍 your rite about that. The Blue Tit box has gone to family in Mexico. Thanks for your support Fred I appreciate it.

I have a bit of scrap wood. Figured I might use it for something. Bird houses will be made with some of it. Maybe some bird feeders as well. I have someone wants bird houses but just for decorations mostly. My dad made bird houses years ago before he died. I'll think of him while building them. Enjoyed your video.

[@PhillWyattProjects]

A good use of scrap wood I think. Good luck with yours. My dad also makes Birdhouses sometimes. He has made some strange shapes and sizes over the years. Thank you.

Hi Phil, to make it more bird friendly, it’s a good idea to fasten small twigs on the inside of the front cover. This gives the fledglings something to grip when trying to leave the nesting box.

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Good idea thanks for the tip!

[@mjremy2605]

Yes! Or wire mesh to grip.

[@happywoodworking]

Thanks for sharing, Phill! Here's to an excellent 2022!

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Hey thanks! Happy new year 😃

[@tummymummy0867]

Thanks for the video, looking forward to making some with my teenage sons

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Have fun!

[@mustafading]

Do you not need to access the box to clean it out every year? Have a panel that screws off?

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Yea that would be more convenient.

[@ceciliaclark9406]

Which one for a startling bird?

[@Shandinho]

Happy New Year Phil 👍 A greatest hits video to see in 2022!

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Cheers Andy 👍 Happy New year 🥳

[@ModelNerd]

Thanks - I really enjoyed this video and will definitely give a couple of these a go. Thanks for taking the time to make it.

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Thank you very much you are very welcome.

[@majaber1]

Thanks for posting...dimensions would be a great help.

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Check the links to the original videos. You should find more info there.

[@mjremy2605]

Very creative designs, I like them. YOu should make them more functional 1. No smooth wood inside the front panel or they cannot climb out. Attach some wire mesh for traction. 2. Bottom should be recessed into box so water drips don't seep in. 3. Roof overhang on all of them needs to be much longer for shelter from rain and winds.

[@angus5041]

Nicely done Phil my next job

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Thanks Angus I really like making bird boxes.

[@paultaylor3026]

I Phil having to a open box for robins will the magpies rob the nest with an open box that’s what I’m concerned about?

[@PhillWyattProjects]

That could happen so it's best to hide them deep inside a hedge to give them plenty of cover.

[@lefthandedscrewdriver3954]

Do the birds find these boxes when you put them deep down into the tree/ hedge?

[@AmyWinehouse.914]

0:32 it says house sparrow hole 35 - 38mm then at 3:42 it says 32mm

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Yea the first box is for a variety of birds. The sparrow box is specifically for sparrows.

[@novoross6090]

[@beakfordclakington1337]

question? why do sparrows need a wall between each other's nesps? do they trigger each other v

[@PhillWyattProjects]

I think it's a bit like humans. They live close together but have their own space to prevent fighting. That's my theory anyway.

[@beakfordclakington1337]

@@PhillWyattProjects that makes a bunch of sense. or are hoomans like sparrows? :)

[@Samps04]

Thank you. What is that metal thing on top and where can it be bought?

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Hi, the metal is a scrap piece of aluminium to cover the join of the roof sides. You can buy L shaped lengths of metal at DIY stores.

[@Samps04]

@@PhillWyattProjects thanks for that

[@PhillWyattProjects]

[@AnandaWeeratunge]

why are u not given the mesherments of the bird houses-

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Sorry I thought I did in the video or description.

[@JoeSmoe-uy8oh]

How come every thing I watch has metric measurements instead of regular inches and feet I've never had metrics and don't understand it or see in its use

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Europe tends to use metric measurements. When I was at school the UK decided to drop teaching imperial and taught metric. So I learnt both which is confusing because I switch from one to the other all the time.

[@ksenss2513]

Only countries to use imperial are the U.S., Liberia and Myanmar. Everybody else uses metric. If you want measurements to be imperial, best watch U.S. content. Everybody else is just as confused by imperial as you are by metric. (With the exception of older people from countries that switched late).

[@tammygurl64]

👍🙂

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Thanks!

[@beakfordclakington1337]

IMO uve gotta make them cleanable or hosable. like u did the blackbob box it maybe spreads canker if not. canaker is a horrible desease (NOT EFFECTIING HOOMANS) and not sure about processed wood saftey in terms of off-gassing formaldyhyde. God speed anyway

[@PhillWyattProjects]

I think some boxes I made were designed better than others. I have quite a few suggestions to consider when making another one.

[@jewelene1387]

What about Doves

[@PhillWyattProjects]

I haven't made a Dovecote yet although it is on my to-do list.

[@ADHDIYuk]

I would make these but my two cats would try to kill everything. They are bad enough as it is.

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Yea they love bringing in a "gift"

[@framsyframsy4559]

no perch on a birdhouse!

[@PhillWyattProjects]

No perch.....less chance of predators using it to perch on and put their head in.

[@beakfordclakington1337]

and hi enuff to detract from cats

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Good point!

[@TilakRaj-sy4wp]

Very very nice
