Hi: My name is Dale and just retired. I am rather new to wood working as a hobby. I am handy with tools and wood. I built the house I am in,a log home 2 story 2500 sq. ft. I am a bit of a perfectionist by nature.
My question is that I built a scale log home exactly like the one I am living in. 6"= 1' scale. Now I want to make a bird house for swallows out of it. It will be a 36 unit condo. I do not want to make bird entrance holes all over it. I was thinking on making 4"x6" hall ways through the building from one end to the other with a perch at each end. The bird holes would be along the hall ways. I would need 5 such hall ways going through the house. That way I could preserve the looks of the front and back of the building. I have dormers front and back but I will not use them for the birds,just for looks. The real question is,will the swallows go into it? If any one has thoughts on this please post a follow up. Thanks Dale :blink::smile:
