Unusual beautiful birdhouse with his own hands for giving - photo and drawing
How to make a beautiful house for birds to decorate the villa
In the spring many people think about building houses for birds. So Vladimir Osokin from Stary Oskol decided to build a birdhouse in his yard. He got a very funny version of this popular product.
Variants of bird houses can be found a huge number. The most tested and functional was always a classic birdhouse, but I wanted to make the house more unusual. Looking through the Internet on different versions, I jumped at the idea to make a house in the form of a cat with a tap in his mouth - it was unusual, with humor, and I decided to do something similar.
I thought over the details and drew them. Under a particular bird, I did not count the house, so I got the scale based on the fact that the diameter of the tap was planned at about 50 mm. The dimensions of the sheet with the drawing - 63 x 46,

After printing the drawings, I glued them to a pine furniture board with a thickness of 18 mm and cut out the parts with a band saw. For the eyes, I cut the ball and cut it in half. The tongue was also carved by a band saw made of larch.

The eyelids were the most difficult element of the design. At first, I cut out a hole in the larch board with an 50 mm hole in a circular saw. Then, with a band saw, retreating 8 mm from the edge of the hole, cut out the cylinder. The result was a wooden pipe. Then cut the tube along the 2 the same halves and grind it to the desired angle on the grinding machine.
With the rest of the details it was easier. Depth of the house I have 20 cm. Based on this, I cut out the base of the same furniture board with a width of 22 cm and a top jumper of width 5 cm. I glued them to the sidewalls, having strengthened the connection with dowels 8 mm. The side of the "torso of the cat" was sewn with laths in a lap. To harden them, I cut out additional fastening sidewalls.
The form was drawn by hand based on the width and thickness of my rails. In one of the sidewalls, a hole was cut through the tray. The details of the trunk were joined by a thick transparent glue-sealant and additionally fixed by finishing studs.
Details of the house sawed out of the furniture board. Front and back walls of a house for birds. The depth of the house (it is 20 cm) is determined by the length of the base and the upper bridge. Stained with existing paint For whiskers used wire from electrodes
While the glue is soh, painted the rest of the elements. For the eyes, tongue and nose, I used acrylic paints, and then coated them for protection with a transparent acrylic lacquer. The color of the eyes and the shape of the pupils I then changed, so the photos are different.
To fasten all the elements, I used dowels of 6 and 8 mm, put them on glue after painting all the parts. The rest of the elements were painted with the usual PF-115 alkyd enamel. I had black and white, the rest of the shades were obtained by mixing them.

After drying, the paint joined the parts with a thick transparent sealant. For hanging the house in the upper jumper screwed two rings. It remains only to add a mustache. For them, I used a wire from the electrodes 0 2 mm. Cleared, bent and colored. Next to the nose, the cat drilled two millimeters holes and pasted the "whiskers" onto the transparent epoxy adhesive.
The house for birds is ready. Spring has just begun, and it is still free, but, I hope, in due course there will be feathered lovers of such exotic housing.

I propose to do in the garden 1 the middle birdhouse (for the starling) on 5 small bugs or wagtails with a smaller size of the tap.
Starlings are also useful for the garden, but they hunt more in free spaces, for example, in a field or in a forest. And the titmouse will well clean your territory from garden pests. Well, how meticulously the wagtail works, probably, they saw it themselves - they won’t miss anything, they will round off all corners of the site!
