Item description
A photograph of a wall with rows of bird houses hanging from it. The bird houses are made of various types of wood, with circular holes in the front. Below the hole are several grooves in the wood. Some of the birdhouses have a black engraving of a bird and the word “WoodCraft” below the grooves. To the left of the bird houses are small blocks of wood with the same bird logo painted on them and a small blue shelf with drawers full of metal parts. In the bottom right corner is the top of a drill press woodworking machine.

Gene's Bluebird Houses 8

Gene Wasserman

There's a lot that goes into making birdhouses. There are vent holes so it doesn't get too hot and the roof is nice and big so that rain doesn't get in there. You don't want water in there because the nest will get wet and the birds who don't have feathers yet will get too cold and won't survive. The block on the front is a predator guard to keep raccoons from reaching the birds.
I put a picture of a bluebird that I took inside each birdhouse kit. It’s a picture of a bluebird on a flag. It’s my thank you note to them for getting a birdhouse and helping the bluebirds.
