At the bottom of every page I have a set of dimensional plans in writing and a visual drawing to make sure you’ll be able to understand the dimensional requirements. Each bird species has it’s own set of living dimensions. So I have gathered very important information and detailed blue print  requirements of these different bird species.When you decide to buy or build a bird house you’ll have to remember to buy or build according to these bird specific house dimensions. When we buy or build a bird house we want birds to nest in the houses we have provided for them. So you are off to a good start. It is also important to remember you can decorate the birdhouses any way you wish.Birds really don’t about the looks of the birdhouse only the dimensions.
