About The Book
Nesting boxes, feeding tables and birdbaths make charming additions to any terrace or garden and can be as decorative as they are practical. Even the smallest outdoor space can be enlivened by a small nesting box or feeder, while larger spaces can be home to all manner of bird dwellings. This practical book includes 15 original designs to make at home, from a neo-classical bird table and a country-style distressed house to a thatched ‘cottage' or fairytale tower. Special advice on how to attract birds to your garden includes tips on providing the right nesting box for different species; choosing the best feeders to benefit the birds; and tasty bird treats that will guarantee a flock of birds in deepest winter. With its easy-to-follow instructions and 500 photographs, this book is a must for everyone who wants to help their local feathered community.

Raves and Reviews
Nature specialist Green approaches birding from a crafting angle, with building instructions for simple roosts and more complex structures like dovecotes. The book, an update of Green's 2010 book, elaborates on the finer points: what types of feeders attract which birds (song thrushes and American robins, for instance, are drawn to ground feeders) and which birds are likely to enjoy a bath (sparrows and blackbirds, to name two).
