Configurable Birdhouse

A free, open Onshape document with parametric birdhouse models — pick a common New England bird from a dropdown and get the right dimensions, in two styles.

I love wildlife — especially birds — and have made a variety of birdhouses over the years. Every time, though, I have to look up dimensions or hunt for plans online. To solve this (minor) inconvenience, I made a free, open Onshape document with configurations for common New England birds, in two different styles. Just pick a bird from the dropdown to see the correct 3D model.

The two configurable styles, rendered in Onshape.

You can open the Onshape document here, and the recommended dimensions come from this birdhouse size guide (PDF).
