Hallo dear viewers, I’m M’Caw the Parrot.  Today’s tip is on how to make a birdhouse out of a coconut. These coconut birdhouses bring small nesting birds like finches into your garden. Here’s how to make one. Find a medium sized coconut and drill a hole at the top of the shell and pour out the milk. Then cut off the top third of the shell with a fine-bladed hacksaw and clean out the coconut. My mum makes a good cake with the inside of the coconut.  Mmmm… For the entrance to the birdhouse, drill a 1-1/8-inch hole in the upper half of the coconut. On the opposite side of the entrance, bolt a hinge between parts of the coconut; this will allow you to open and clean the coconut for the following nesting season. For a simple latch, add one screw to the top part of the nut and one to the lower part; then twist some wire between them to hold the coconut shut. And to give the birds some extra protection from the elements you can also add a piece of pliable metal peaked roof. Do this by cutting a piece of pliable metal to the size of a car license plate. Then drill a hole in the center and bend it into a V shape. Bolt the roof onto the coconut with an eye bolt. The eye bolt will allow you to hang the coconut birdhouse from a branch. And voilà! There’s your birdhouse.
