Different DIY Styles of Bird Houses for Your Special Garden

 If it's that old school rustic farm and country look you're going for or if you're a more colourful and creative artistic DIY'er, check out these beauty's!

They're sure to spark some great idea's and get your DIY juices flowing! 

                                                                                        
Rustic Look - Incorporate rustic/old items to decorate your bird house and add natural touches by using pine cones, stone/rocks, and sticks. Put your bird pal's rainy day worries at ease with a dry and solid roof by using scrap metal or pieces of old shingles. After a long day of flying around town, your birdie friends would love a shaded landing spot to chill. Think outside the box, use a door hinge as a mini awing over top of the entrance way.

Make it unique! Be creative!
 
Have an old door knob, kitchen cabinet metal handle, or a towel/coat hook? Use it as a unique bird perch. Add decorative and artistic touches by spray painting pine cones or hot gluing pretty coloured pebbles/beads to the base or walls.
*FYI TIP* Try using recycled items like wine bottle corks or bottle caps, old shiny coins and pieces of coloured glass.
Creative & Artistic Look - You may have a detailed and themed style of bird house in mind which could have several detailed and particular pieces included. Are you an outrageous/fearless DIY'er and in love with using bold bright colours that'll give your bird house a pop! Paint your entire bird house a solid striking colour.

*FYI TIP* Make them enjoyable for your bird buds to live in and enjoyable for you!
What about having a hilarious and comical look.
Paint an animal face on the front of your bird house!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
                                                                                                                                         
Is your garden a magnet for birds?
Upgrade to Bird Condos!

If you're considering increasing the size of your bird houses, check out building larger houses with multiple entrance holes. Of course, more space = more materials. Keep in mind time and budget when upgrading your bird house. 
Maybe using recycled house hold items is a better option for fast and cheap décor!
Endless possibilities!

Chicken Salad Wrap Pinwheels

  Super easy snack, play around with different ingredients in your chicken salad ! I made 2 different chicken salads both with mayonnaise.  I divided my mixture of mayonnaise, shredded grilled chicken breast and grated marble cheese into to 2 parts. Left one as is and added a couple extra ingredients to the second portion of salad.  I added chopped celery and some ceaser salad dressing.  Spread a thin layer (1/4-1/2 inch ) of salad on top of your tortilla.  Start rolling up your tortilla from one end, keeping it nice and tight! I then started cutting slices, tip for next time, wrap the tortilla tub up with plastic wrap and put it in the fridge to firm up.  Make sure the knife you use to cut the rolls is nice and sharp.  Place them on plate and munch out! Or pop them into the fridge until it’s go time! You can add anything you like!  I’m thinking about adding some mushrooms and red peppers next time I make these LOL...

It's super handy having an oil thermometer, once it hits 3 60 ° F   w e put a handful of potatoes in. Keep an eye on the oil temperature, keeping it around 360/35 0 ° F . Stir them to ensure they don't stick. Once they turn golden brown, place them onto a bowl lined with paper towel....
