Projects for Pets, Wild Birds, and More!

As it gets a little colder outside, I've been answering a
lot of reference questions about planning and
constructing animal shelters. Some of these questions have been about building
projects for pets, like doghouses and rabbit hutches, and other people have
asked about building outdoor structures for wild animals, like birdhouses.
Whether you're?catering to domesticated animals or wildlife, we've got books
for you!

Searching the ECRL catalog by the subjects ?Pets? and ?Housing? will help you to find a couple of books on pet projects, including one called Making Pet Palaces: princely homes and furnishings to pamper your pets by Leslie Dirks, which has lots of fun ideas for amateur builders.

If you're more interested in helping out your fine, feathered friends, we?can help you?with that, too. Try searching by subject for ?Birdhouses? and ?Design and Construction,? and you'll find many books on building birdhouses. Here's just a sample of what we have on that topic:
