Hello all. I am looking for a Victorian style birdhouse plan to build for my wife. I have looked in dozens of places and just cannot find them. I'm wondering if they're a trade secret or something. I am willing to pay for it of course. Do y'all have any ideas?

Something like this...

Thanks for any ideas.

Well I guess my suspicions are correct. It appears that there just aren't any plans for the larger/fancier ones. Oh well, I may have to try to hack my way through one myself. It scares me to think what it might look like though.

My local library actually has a good handful of books on building birdhouses and plans. Might want to check your local libraries. Mine also will let you "order" books from any library in the county, which is about 20 or so. They will ship it in to your local for you.

It all depends on thetype of bird you are building the houses for. I make Purple Martin & Bluebird houses.

You could cheat and get a dollhouse and scale it down. I picked this one up for $45. Once you have your measurements you can still build the dollhouse for the kids
