Making your own bird boxes and feeders is a rewarding and
environmentally sound way to enhance any garden by attracting
birds. The food we supply in winter can mean the difference between
life and death for small birds, and in spring and summer bird boxes
help many species to raise their families. Birdhouses, Boxes, and
Feeders for the Backyard Hobbyist is an invaluable source of
information for both the woodworker and the bird-lover. Woodworking
experts Alan and Gill Bridgewater have teamed up with ornithologist
Stephen Moss to produce a range of boxes and feeders designed to
meet the needs of birds and enhance your garden. Information on box
and feeder siting, appropriate food, types of nest box, and the
birds you can expect to see, is featured alongside everything that
you need to know about suitable woods, necessary tools and
materials, and construction techniques. Seventeen projects, well
illustrated with photographs and diagrams, offer concise
step-by-step instructions and are suitable for novice and
experienced woodworkers alike.

The Little Red Hen has gone through various versions and
permutations, but surely this is the first time she has a
Yiddish accent. Realizing its almost Passover, the Little Red Hen
says, Oy gevalt! She needs matzah for her seder dinner, and that
means growing wheat. Horse, Sheep, and Dog are not interested in
helping. Harvesting? Again, nope. Milling? Were resting. By now,
the Little Red Hen realizes shes dealing
with a bunch of no-goodniks. She bakes the matzah (according to
Jewish law . . . in just eighteen minutes) and then sets her seder
table. Guess who arrives? What chutzpah! But then the Little Red
Hen remembers the Haggadahs words: Let all who are hungry come and
eat. Children familiar with Passover will get a kick out of this,
and the ink-and-watercolor art amusingly captures both the Little
Red Hens aggravation and the animals turnaround. Those really in
the know might wonder about a sheep at a holiday table where lamb
blood plays a major role, but, hey, at least
