Review by Booklist Review
Presented here in enthusiastic fashion are detailed instructions and step-by-step illustrations for constructing an assortment of nesting boxes, bird feeders, bird tables on stands, birdbaths, decoy ducks (to lure live ducks if your garden is near a lake or river), dovecotes, garden aviaries, guinea pig hutches, bat boxes, and hedgehog shelters. An introductory chapter offers data on what types of wood, wood screws, nails, staples, adhesives, paints, brushes, and roof coverings to use. There are tips on tools and techniques and information on birds' favorite food and habitat. There are 168 pages in color and 100 black-and-white illustrations. But readers should realize that it takes basic knowledge of woodworking to construct these projects. --George Cohen
