How Do You Build A Birdhouse Out Of A Gourd?

Most people have access to a yard full of raw materials like flowers, twigs, gourds and berries. For those with a flare for creativity, these materials are useful in making all types of home decor and gifts. The large size and unique shape of bottle gourds make them particularly useful if you want to build a birdhouse.

Cut your gourd off the vine late in the season when the stem turns brown but before the first frost. Then place it in a mesh bag and hang in a cool dry place for a few months until it dries. It is finished drying when you can shake it and hear the seeds rattle inside.

Drill a hole about one and a half inches in diameter in the center of the bulb of the gourd using the keyhole attachment on a power drill or cut the hole using a razor knife. This size hole will attract most birds though a few species may require a two inch hole. Use a nail to make four small holes in the bottom of the gourd for drainage as young birds will drown if the birdhouse floods with rainwater.
