Getting Ready for the Birds

The birds have been coming to the house for food, but have you really invited them to stick around so you can enjoy them year-round. Having a variety of food, feeders and houses for them can be a nice incentive.  We have added some fun new houses each year.
Home Depot puts on several workshops throughout the year which allows your kids to build a bird house.  One you have finished building the house, you might as well have fun painting it with some style. Here are a few ideas we came up with for our houses. Also remember you can take, lint or left over strings and set them out in a bundle for birds to use as they are building a nest.
