DIY Birdhouse: Let Birds Beat the Heat This Summer
In India, birds like sparrows have notable decrease in number. In summer the temperature exceeds over 48 degree Celsius at midday. We can't see any birds at that time. So I decided to make a birdhouse for birds. The Birdhouse is recycled and harmless to Birds. Small Birds like Sparrow can play on it and eat their food beating the heat. It is made up of Small Coke can.
NOTE: 1. The Birdhouse should not be kept in direct sunlight . Can will heat and it will be unsuitable for Birds.
2. Big Birds like pigeon can cause imbalance and can pour all your loaded food.
Materials Needed
1. Can of any size
2. 2 Zip Ties
3. Rope
4. Cutter which can cut the can
5. Small piece of wood. You can get it from a carpenter.
6. Dish wash liquid
Make an Entrance
Cut the mouth of can with the help of cutter.
The cut portion may harm Birds. So please make it safe by polishing its endpoints.
Now, wash the inner side of can with dish wash bar as the sugar remained inside the can can also attract insects.
Hanging It
Now, with two zip ties make the T-shape as shown in Image 1. Then attach with can with piece of wood as shown in Image 2.
Insert Rope
Insert the rope in Zip tie so that we can hang it.
Hang It and Add Food
Hang it at place where it will be protected from sunlight and add bird food.
Birdhouse Ready
Now your Birdhouse is ready.
