Step By Step Instructions    NOTE: In regards to the bottom of the box, rather than drilling the 1/4 in air holes, another suggestion is to cut a small piece off at each corner for air circulation (as shown in Step 2 by dotted lines) ..... Either way, do not forget to do this.  Before you begin to put the box together, take the front of the box and on the inside make some grooves just below the entrance hole. This will give the fledglings a toe hold to assist them in climbing out of the box. They don't need to be deep, just score a few lines across the wood with a large nail.
Step 1: Using whichever you prefer, nails or screws, attach the front to side 1. Use at least two nails/screws on each side. I suggest pre-drilling the holes and using screws rather than nails.
Step 2: Lay the box on the side and attach the bottom. Step 3: Attach the back.
