Bird Houses, Baths and Feeding Shelters: How to Make and Where to Place Them

"Bird Houses, Baths and Feeding Shelters: How to Make and Where to Place Them" by Edmund J. Sawyer is a helpful manual from the mid-1900s that explains how to build and set up birdhouses, baths, and feeding spots to help bird populations. It's for people who like birds and gardening and want to make their gardens better for birds. The book tells you exactly how to build different birdhouses for different kinds of birds, including the right sizes and materials, and where to put them for the best results. Sawyer stresses that birdhouses should be made so that common but unwanted birds like the English Sparrow and European Starling can't take over the homes meant for native birds. The guide also talks about why bird baths and feeding stations are important, giving tips on how to build them and keep them clean. The main idea is to bring birds to your yard and also to create a safe and useful place for them so that more birds can live in the area, making it a great book for anyone who wants to attract more birds.
