New Nest Boxes


Hubby is building one of our members some nest boxes. Once done, we'll just take them and hang em' on the wall. Pretty neat looking. He's making the doors so that they swivel on dowel rods........I'm taking pictures as we go along.
It's 4 X 8 with 9 boxes.

This one is just the basic frame and shelves.




And these two are with the dividers in place. Guess we'll be working on the doors tomorrow.

They look great, it must be so nice to have a carpenter for a husband.

Doors can be put in position for mating the birds up. Hen inside, cock outside.





Wood pieces installed for keeping the perch/door locked.
