Learn modeling and help feathered friends
Birdhouses are a wonderful way to support local wildlife and bring more life into your green surroundings. However, not all birdhouses are created equal. Different bird species have specific needs, and understanding these can help you create the perfect home for your feathered friends. Here are a few key factors to consider:
1) Different birds need different-sized houses and entrance holes.
2) The height and placement of your birdhouse matters.
3) The materials used in birdhouse construction and a proper ventilation are crucial.
4) Regular maintenance is essential to keep your birdhouses in good condition.
5) Protecting the birds from predators is a must.
The team of Fab Lab Cuenca will create welcoming and safe birdhouses for various local species. Right now, we are consulting with scientists and activists to decide what kinds of houses to build and where to install and observe them.
The first prototypes are already in the making. I am sure the participants of our digital fabrication courses will model and create plenty birdhouses. In the coming months, we will share impressions, step-by-step guides, and hopefully some bird content.
