This particular Kindle volume is copyright LittleWhiteEbook.com. The original ebook was titled, “Birdhouses Any Boy Can Build”. The current edition has been edited for gender-neutrality, and the truth is that it’s more aptly titled “Anyone” – if a child is involved with the project, parental supervision should be involved in any work involving tools.
These plans are excellent for the backyard bird enthusiast, and make fantastic projects for families and individuals alike. Although some of the wording may seem antiquated at times, this book reminds all of us of the fun and peculiar relationship mankind has to its winged brethren.
