Well out where I'm from, the birds just make their own houses, and it works too, as long as I don't turn on the porch light! Baked finch or if I'm not lucky, I could burn down my own house! This is one of the few birdhouses that I have (although this one is unintentional) seems to be totally squirrel proof. Dad gum critters just chew their way into most of the the ones that I built. This is the fourth year that this nesting site has been used, and for two years now one set of birds move in right after the previous occupants fledge.

That's cool, I have had Robins do the same thing. Fun to watch them.
 
Hey Mike,

Nice looking birdhouse, your choice of materials(cedar) was good. Yea still working on the SB took it all apart , cleaned
and painted about 30% of it.
The staples in the birdhouse will be fine, But I wouldn't use wood glue(for outside use) if rain or dampness gets into it
the wood glue won't hold up. All the epoxies are water resistant. any way the Birdhouse looks good.
I'm in the process of selling my home here in NY, we had a bad summer HHH(Hot, Humid and Horrible)

Best Regards.............Kerry
 
Hi Kerry,
the birdhouse is a gift to my mother from my son and i,
it won't see the outside elements, but thank you for the useful information!
I hope things go smoothly in your relocation!
all the best
