10 Bird Spaces You Can Make Yourself

Part of any good garden worth its salt is at least one nice place for our feathered pals to hang out. If you’re looking for a cool birdhouse, bird feeder, or bird bath project this summer here are 10 to ponder. All are cool by the way, not your boring old wooden bird spaces for sure.

1. Ooooo – hard to believe a garbage can could look so cool.
2. Nestle Bird House (shown above)
   
3. Tea cup bird feeder
4. Recycled lantern bird feeder – no instructions, but you can do this cool project, trust me.
5. Tea pot birdhouse
6. Bamboo picnic hat birdhouse
7. 100% recycled birdhouse built by a kid – a little nutty but pretty darn cool.
8. Flower pot bird bath – an easy one for the kiddos.
9. Bird bath or house with a satellite dish – I LOVE this project. Too bad the website is all spammy and ad heavy, BUT check it out anyhow, you’ll love it.
10. Really nice recycled wine cork birdhouse.

Bonus link – NOT a DIY birdhouse, but prob one of the few I’d buy. Too cute.
