This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEA curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in Animal Care.

In this Badge Bit you will make a bird house for a specific species of bird.  


NestWatch has a wonderful bird house plan set and helps you choose one too.

Here's a nice youtube video of making an Eastern Bluebird house:


Minimum requirements:
 - it must be designed for a specific species of bird
 - natural wood and steel/wood fasteners (no glue, plywood, stain, paint)
 - must be able to open for cleaning

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 mins):
 - the wood you are starting with
 - the bird house under construction
 - your finished bird house
 - say what bird species it is designed for, how this design is a good match for that bird, and why you would like more of that bird in this area, and some dimensional specifics

Clarifications:
  - It does not need to be installed
