By providing birds with the right bird house design, you are sure to attract the type of bird you want to your property. Different variety of birds will require different styles of shelter. Along with the proper shelter, also be sure to provide clean water and food.
Giving birds shelter will keep them safe from the outside temperature. By building a safe haven the birds will be able to nest, and be safe from predators.
Before you begin building, research the variety of birds known to migrate to your area. Be aware of the bird house size and location that will meet the birds need.
Once you are aware of the types of bird in your area, you can look for bird house plans that will meet their needs. The most common wood used for building bird houses is cedar. Cedar makes an excellent material to use, it doesn’t need to be treated, stained, or painted. Always try to avoid painting, especially around the entrance hole.
Drill the proper entrance hole. It is important to know the size of the entrance hole for the birds you are attracting. Researching online for information on birds is a great place to start. Another good place for information is your local library.
Adding a perch to the bird house is not a good idea. Having a perch will give predator birds a place to wait for the bird to come out. This can result in the bird becoming trapped inside, with fear.
It is important to place the bird house in a good location. When choosing a location, keep in mind how weather and predators such as cats will affect your new guest. Choose a place where there is not to much human activity. Make sure you will be able to see and enjoy the bird house from the location you have chosen. The height should be around three to ten feet high. The bird house can be hung on a tree, or mounted to a pole or tree limb.
Provide food for the birds, especially in the winter, food is hard for them to come by. Find out what kind of bird food and treats you will need for the bird variety you are trying to attract. You can experiment by placing different food in different feeders, this should give you an idea what they prefer to eat. Building a basic bird feeder is quite simple. You can find plans online, or by going to a library or bookstore.
Birds are also attracted to water. Water for drinking and bathing is another necessity that birds require. Any shallow container to hold water will do fine. A good location to add water containers is close to the feeders.
Remember to start out by researching the types of birds in your area, so that you can find the right bird house plans. There are many web sites that offer free plans. Also try your library and bookstore for the right plans. Building your own bird house can be a great new hobby, while providing the birds in your area shelter and protection.

It’s a redwing… a winter visitor : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redwing
I was in a pet store a couple of months ago when I saw a whole cage full of owl finches. They were about 80 dollars each. I had never seen them before, they looked just like mini owls! I was wondering, are these birds difficult to care for? Are they hard to breed? Any information would be helpful. Thankyou
Owl finches (also called Bicheno finches) are gorgeous little birds that should be kept in pairs and groups (same sex is fine if you don’t plan to breed) and don’t require human interaction. They are more for observing.
They can be pretty easy to keep, but are not easy to breed like zebra finches.
If you are thinking of buying some, try to find a breeder in your area that sells them. They will probably be a lot healthier compared to in the petshop (although it depends on the store) and also will be a lot cheaper.
They need a lot of room to fly, like a flight cage or aviary. You can get some really great indoor finch aviaries that look like a piece of furniture.
Due to their nature, put plants or fake plants in their cage.
They need a varied diet, which may include things such as seed, pellets, vegetables, and fruit.
They can get sensitive to the cold, so be wary of that if you keep them outside. Ideally, they thrive on 68-72 F (20-22 C).
At breeding time, they defend their immediate nest area from other finches.
They build nests in thick bushes using grass and plant stems. I don’t know if they accept nesting baskets, the probably do. They rarely accept nesting boxes though.
When the chicks hatch, you will need to provide plenty of fresh ant pupae, mealworms, aphids, and other small insects. They don’t accept egg food or dried ant pupae. So in this way, they could be difficult to breed because of the food you will need to provide for them for their young.
They do well in mixed aviaries with other finches as well. But also research a finch species before adding it, as some species are not suitable in mixed aviaries.
I hope that helps. 
So I am looking for a parrot or macaw type bird that is intelligent, and very loyal and able to bond with its owner.I have grown up with birds and know how to take care of them, but im not sure what kind would be best.Thanks!
An African Grey suits your queries. They are smart, intelligent, great birds, are wonderful at talking, and are as loyal as a bird can be. But they are very emotional, are feather plucking disasters, need a huge cage, and a lot of mental stimulation!
they can fly completely quietly, along with better hearing than any bird, and they can turn their heads 270 degrees.
I have a wild robin that was injured and recovered but cannot be returned to the wild. He’s in a beautifulset up and on a great diet. Sometimes I think he’s lonely. What other bird would I be able to put with him?
Robins are Not a sociable bird to other species and "Will Kill" others not of their species ,best take your bird to a rescue centre where they have plenty of space in outdoor aviaries for such cases.
