An awesome bird moves into your neighborhood. It’s a blue bird with a fabulous sense of style. Would you expect it to live in a plain old wooden box? No way! Your challenge is to construct the absolutely best birdhouse possible. It doesn’t have to be a real birdhouse. It can be made of any material; don’t worry about weatherproofing. There is no right way or wrong way to do it! Please click here to read the eXtreme Birdhouse guidebook before registering your entry.
