Thank you so much! It's arrived, and I am already making my video about it. THANK YOU! For offering such a fun giveaway, and for your excellent craftsmanship. I'm really looking forward to being able to monitor bird activity in your birdhouse. Are these systems for sale? If they are, I'd really like to share a link with my viewers. I think there would be people interested in purchasing the unit you've built, with the camera and link included in one big box. The link you share is for birdboxes, but not yours. Is that something that's coming along anytime soon?
Hi Fred, I'm happy you have received the birdhouse. I hope you enjoy using it. And I look forward to seeing your video! I started making birdhouses for my UA-cam channel (ua-cam.com/users/BirdsWalkingDown) and to giveaway to friends and family. But people do ask about purchasing, and I do sale a limited number as time allows. Here is the link with details about purchasing. birdhouse.walkingdown.com. Purchasing doesn't include the camera, as it's easier to get on Amazon.
@@BirdsWalkingDown Thank you so much, I'll include those links in my video description! :)
Thank you Fred!
I have to say that I really like what you've done, and the idea of being able to see the species, egg production, hatch dates, etc... all without having to open the box would be a huge advantage. How long have you experimented with your interior dimensions? Since we know that each species has its own space preferences as well as entrance diameter, does the larger box get less nesting activity than those with species-based dimensions? Is there a solar panel option for your camera so the batteries don't run down too soon? Thanks, the wheels are turning. I appreciate it and learned of your video through Essential Craftsman. I wish you all the best, new sub!
I've been experimenting with birdhouse designs about 3 years. My earlier designs were smaller. And Bluebirds did use them but it got crowded as the nestling got close to fledging. From what I have seen, the extra spaces gives all the nestling room to stand side by side and get feed more equally. Which means there's less likely to be runts. It's had to say the effect of the dimensions. Because I've seen a Chickdee build a nest in a really large birdhouse that I build for a Woodpecker. I've seen House Finches build a nest inside a very small light fixture on the porch. I have used a solar panel with the camera. And it works but was problematic due to getting enough sun and one time needing to disconnect the camera to reset it. I'm now only using batteries and with the small top door it's easy to change without much disturbance to the birds. Thank you for subscribing!
@@BirdsWalkingDown Excellent, thank you for the comprehensive response.
You have put a great deal of thoughtfulness into your bird house design ! Glad to have found your channel !
Thank you so much!
Brilliant and beautiful! Wow!!
Thank you S :)
Pretty amazing house mister, subscribed on the strength of that! Greetings from the Midwest.
Awesome! Thank you!
I really like this design. I used your idea of using the Blink cameras inside bird houses this year and was able to capture an Eastern Bluebird, Chickadee, and two House Wren nests across three different nesting boxes.
That's awesome! Thank you!
You seem to be a really nice guy. Thanks a lot for your videos and all the work :)
I appreciate that!
Congratulations Caroline!! Would like to ask, do you or would you ever consider making just the Birdhouse available for sale? I am a widow & have no means of ever making one of these on my own. Thank you.
I sale a few as I have time to make them. Details at birdhouse.walkingdown.com
You paid a lot attention to detail to make a birds life easy. This was impressive and very thoughtful.
Thank you!
Do you have the plans that you are willing to share? Thanks,
Todd
Yes, this is the plan, although I now use 1x8 Western Red Cedar. The plan shows 1x6 Cypress. birds.walkingdown.com/cooling-roof-birdhouse
I guess I jumped in late as I just saw it on facebook, how much do they sell for?
Here is the details for purchasing. birdhouse.walkingdown.com
Do you sell them anywhere?
I sale a few as I have time to make them. Details at birdhouse.walkingdown.com
Do you sell these birdhouses?
Only as I have time to build them. You can see my listing at forms.gle/JrpLTjuVa7dX6VkK8
Your birdhouse design is really superb! I love the extra attention to detail for the younger birds. Beautiful work!
Thank you so much!
I am a little to late
Yes, sorry about that
That is a spacious birdhouse! In Richmond Va we get many bluebirds and chickadees that would love to nest in a bird house that big! We have 3 and one of them is a large box for something like an owl or red bellied wood pecker. There are leaves in it after I confirmed it was cleared mid fall so something is roosting there since it has been very cool down here for a while now. Thanks for your constant uploads!
Thank you for the support!
What an awesome birdhouse! Your thoughtful attention to detail is so refined and executed perfectly. After getting into birding over the last few years, I am planning on putting up nest boxes for the first time in 2023. Here in CT, I'm guessing the potential inhabitants would more than likely be either Bluebirds, Downy Woodpeckers, Chickadees, or Tufted Titmice. I don't care which LOL. When do you suggest putting up the bird houses? What week/month in preparation for mating season? Thanks for your great videos! I've been watching for a little while now :)
Thank you for your support. I usually have mine ready by mid-February
The beautiful workmanship really shows! Well done! ❤
Thank you very much!
That design is great! Love the idea of the semi-transparent door!
Thanks so much!
The birdhouse looks amazing! ❤❤❤I am fascinated by how well it is designed with the wellbeing of the birds in mind
Thank you for the support!
Nice work! I have a question for you! I like the plastic screen mesh at the bottom, but don't some mom birds try to expel it from the nesting area? Thanks!
Thank you. I haven't seen any birds trying to remove the mesh. What have you used for a mesh before?
Such great craftsmanship, great attention to every detail possible.
Thank you very much!
That's a great design 👍 😊 I like the camera insert option.
I think so too!
Looks so cool! Is there a file we could download for the 3D-printed stuff? Is it on Thingiverse somewhere?
Yes, birds.walkingdown.com/3d-file-download
@@BirdsWalkingDown Awesome, thanks so much! I'm putting this into SketchUp and trying to think through ways I could convert it to a roosting box for cold months. As of now, I'm thinking I'll not cut the ladder kerfs all the way through and will remove some of the other ventilation, but add some angled holes in the top that can be corked in the winter. Also thinking I'll have the front be reversible for the hole to be at the bottom for roosting months, and have some holes drilled in one of the walls to insert a few perches during winter months. Open to any other ideas you might have!
Wow! That sounds awesome
Love the design, especially with the camera mounting spot. I've always wanted to try that out
Thank you!
Thank you For Sharing 🥰🐦
Thank you for your support
Wow, what an amazingly designed birdhouse! It's so amazing to see someone passionate about birding designing something so perfectly tailored for our feathered friends :)
Also it's even more fun to think of it as a dinosaur house if you're into paleontology
Thank you! I like dinosaur house also
@@BirdsWalkingDown what kind of camera would I have to get? Like what's that kind of camera called on Amazon? Thank you :)
It is a Blink Outdoor. I have it listed on my Amazon store: amzn.to/3OOspqH. That is an affiliate link, but you can just search if you want
@@BirdsWalkingDown Thank you, that's very helpful!
Beautiful work. You did an amazing job.
Thank you so much!
Wow nice bird house! Its like a luxury model for the birds. ❤😊 been following you for a while now and I love your videos please keep sharing. 😊 would love to have your nest box in my yard and I’m sure my eastern bluebirds would as well. 🤞🏼👍😁
Thank you for your support!
@@BirdsWalkingDown anytime I think it is really sweet that your giving one of your nest boxes away! The camera idea is really cool! 😁👍
Awesome design! 👏👏
Thank you! 😊
Wow, beautiful! I would love to have this birdhouse!❤️
Thank you! 😊
So well thought out awesome design 👍 Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving!
I want one!! Beautiful!
I have a small bird sanctuary in my garden in Coastal NC
Awesome! Do you have Bluebirds?
@@BirdsWalkingDown yes!
A pair!
They bred at one of my boxes!
So beautiful
Awesome!
I love this!
Thank you!
Very well done!
Thank you very much!
Very clean well thought out box. I have looked at your channel content and had to sub.
Awesome, thank you!
That's a magnificent birdhouse.
Thank you so much
Lots of details! This is a great birdhouse. Lucky birds.😁
Thank you so much!
Would you recommend putting the birdhouse on a pole or on the tree? I have tried both and bird don’t use either what I’m I doing wrong?
I think a pole would make it harder for predators to get access. I made this video using a 4x4 post but there are other options. ua-cam.com/video/Apon77QVqJ4/v-deo.html
That's well thought out and beautifully designed! Can we enter the contest more than once?
Thank you. No, just once.
Great design! That will be a happy home for some lucky birds🙂
Thank you!
Amazing 👏 you did so wonderful 🐦👍

Thank you!
Your love for birds shows through your bird houses great job 🐦🐦🐦
Thank you so much!
What an unusual name for your channel...I'm sure there is an interesting story there...love your ingenuity!
Yes, there is a story ;) Thank you so much
@Birds Walking Down Ah..is the explanation already out there? Will I find it on previous videos or is TBA in the future? Love a good "bird crumb trail" mystery!...(pun intended)
No, I haven't post the explanation anywhere. Maybe I will since I get ask sometimes.
@Birds Walking Down That would be awesome...can wait...maybe your next video?!?!
Amazing. I love the mesh that keeps the nest off the floor. That's a great idea. I am going to enter. I had blue birds twice in my birdhouse. So neat.
Thank you!
Awesome design. Have you ever considered trying a double hole entrance which could help flee from predators?
Yes I have done that before. Have you found that to be effective?
Found you through Lesley the Bird Nerd! Glad to subscribe, and for the chance to win such a beautiful and well done birdhouse.
Thank you very much!
It looks like an outstanding birdhouse! It’s also fun to see a comment from CT where we lived for many decades before moving to SD.
Thank you very much!
the curve marks for the fledglings is such a great design!
Thank you!
I love birds Walking Down I always give a thumbs up
Love the birdhouse
That's very kind. Thank you
W😍W!! Your designed and built blue bird house is beautiful and very functional kudos to your great work and dedication to our feathered friends ❤
Thank you very much!
TY for the opportunity to win this birdhouse that's thoughtfully built with love for 🐦.
Thank you for your support!
That's so neat to hear what you do! I'm the same way, I can't find a well made house, you know what upsets me is when you go to hobby lobby or any craft store and you see them bird houses that are cheap aluminum and the hole, the hole is so sharp and small. They should be ashamed. I have a ton of birds and squarls, lol there out on my deck now 😆. The blue Jay's are not intimidated by them at all lol. You are amazing! Another thing there's a TV show that I want off the air, Alaska!! They just killed this huge beautiful wolf 🐺 . There killing all kinds of these gorgeous animals that are doing nothing wrong but living in there environment raising there families. These animals feel and think just as we do. Anyways your houses are 👏 amazing. I have them blinc cameras that I like to get photos from. I have a squarl picnic table up on the tree and 1 birdhouse. I'll enter for the giveaway! Thank you 🐦
Thank you for the information. Good luck!
Omg amazing I would love love love to win this little bird house for all the little birds that come into my back garden 👍🏻😊
Sorry the shipping is expensive even within the US
I love in the UK so I can't enter 🙈good luck everyone 👍🏻
Thank you
What an awesome birdhouse, well constructed. Too bad only for US addresses 😢
Thank you! Yes, sorry about that
I think it would be great if you sold the 3d printed camera shelf, or at least share the blueprint. My husband recently built a roost box and turned out that the camera mounting was the most challenging.
Happy Holidays!
He are the files for printing the shelf. birds.walkingdown.com/3d-file-download
@@BirdsWalkingDown Thank you so much 🐦
