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:
