Java Finch Nest Box
I couldn't find a decent-sized nest box for my Java finches for a decent price, so I made one with my dad. Was it worth 10, 15 hours of work in 80-90°F weather? Absolutely not. To make matters worse, I found a good parakeet nest box for $10 the next day. Oh well, it's finished now.

- Original plan; we had a minor screw-up and had to change some stuff
-
- Top inside; can be easily removed
-
- Bottom inside; recessed to keep water out, corners cut to aid air flow
-
- Front inside; grooves help birds climb out
-
- Finished box, holes cut along sides for air flow

I designed it like a nest box for wild birds so it can be used outdoors if desired. I'd just have to put on a wider lid and figure out how to install it.

Very nice 
It is a gratifying thing when we can do things by ourselves instead of purchasing.
