What is a tonneau cover cleaner? On the next page, we’ll cover those. Cover and seal the joint. As long as your recycled bird house has the depth and height required to accommodate the nest and growing-family activities of the birds, cavity nesters will appreciate a house that looks like a sunbonnet as much as they will one that looks like a little stone cottage. Cavity nesters — birds who’ll move into a bird house — include owls, swallows, ducks, bluebirds, purple martins, wrens and prothonotary warblers. Look on the next page for more information about birds and ideas for other recycled crafts. Recycled and found items work great for this. This prolonged contact time allows the cleaner to work more effectively in breaking down tough stains and removing them. You can also make a platform from hardware cloth by bending down two opposite sides to make “feet.” The platform lifts the nest off the floor for better drainage and helps protect fledglings from parasites like blowflies. Some birds, like robins and barn swallows, prefer an open nesting shelf to an enclosed house. Making the entry hole slightly tunnel-like will aid in keeping egg-stealing raccoons and nest-stealing starlings and house sparrows from reaching the nest.

To devise a simple drip-fed watering station, punch a small hole in the bottom of a plastic milk jug opposite the side with the handle. Hide the jug under a decorative planter, thread rope through the jug handle and the planter drain hole and hang them from a limb. Fledglings climb up to the entry hole to exit the bird house, so attach something they can grip, like hardware cloth, on the interior wall below the hole. Perhaps the costs of cleaning solutions like laundry detergent and carpet shampoo? You can assemble PVC to telescope for cleaning ease. Trimming nose hair, cleaning inside and around the ears, moisturizing, exfoliating the skin, removing eye and nose gunk — these small tasks can sometimes make or break your overall appearance and can be essential to good hygiene. They need a small entrance hole, about 1.5 inches (3.8 centimeters) in diameter, and prefer it to be high on the box. The species of bird will determine the size of the house and entrance hole, where to drill the entrance and how high to mount the bird house.

You can do this by attaching a 1.5-inch (3.8-centimeter) thick block of wood around the hole, or by extending the entry outward with pipe or PVC. Once the PVC has softened, put on a pair of thick leather gloves or wet heavy-duty gloves and carefully bend the conduit. It’s recommended to wear safety goggles and gloves when applying urethane sealant. Apply a liberal layer of self-leveling urethane sealant. Block off the area so nobody walks on the newly placed joints until the sealant has dried. The most similar symptom is a pounding in the sinus area. Your materials don’t have to be uniform, and your finished product doesn’t have to look like a house. In your landscape, birds are like flowers that move. But it’s good to keep in mind that different birds have different size requirements and aesthetic preferences. Some birds don’t mind hanging houses, but plenty of others want stability in the wind.

Birds need water, too. But before you even begin gathering materials to construct one, you need to decide what type of bird you want to attract. In general, you’ll need cutting, drilling and anchoring tools, which may include a drill, spade bit, screwdriver, Dremel cutters, scissors, saw, pliers, hot glue gun or staple gun, and rust-resistant hardware. Since these can be created with little more than glue and scissors, they’re ideal recycling crafts for kids. With very little alteration, you can repurpose well-cleaned 1-gallon (3.8-liter) paint cans, milk jugs, coffee cans or the newer plastic containers, old boots, stiff hats, faded wreaths, and fallen branches into bird houses. Make a Three Little Pigs theme with a straw house (drain pipe encased in broom straw secured with wire); stick house (twigs glued to a milk carton); and a brick house (Lego block façade on a purple martin apartment house made from an old hip-roof metal tool box). Tree fungus, drift wood, old tools and drawer pulls become perches.
