Untitled 1

I build birdhouses primarily for Wrens, Chickadees, Nuthatch, Titmouse, Downy Woodpeckers, but also for Bluebirds, Robins, Blue Jays, Phoebes, Mourning Doves, Screech Owls, Kestrals and Bats.
    My bird houses are built with old pine as the base wood and repurposed lumber from old furniture. They are trimmed with wine corks which are each selected for its printing, color and size. Everything is hand cut, hot glued into position using construction grade hot glue and nailed. The opening for my wren houses is 1 1/4", reinforced with a wooden or copper ring to discourage squirrels; perches are made from natural branches. The roofs are made from hand-cut cedar. The roofs are removable for seasonal cleaning by simply removing two wooden pegs.
  I get the wine corks from friends and acquaintances that drop them off at the house and from great wineries on the Niagara Wine Trail who have graciously supplied me with used corks from their tasting rooms. I sincerely thank them for their support. (See winery links to the right.) Houses that are shown are available for purchase today.
