| Safe Designed to keep predators out, and your bird inside, the Dove Cote ensures peace-of-mind while allowing you the quiet, odor-free environment you and your family deserve. |

| Natural Doves are expensive, and often hard to replace. Your doves will be happier than ever, and the Cote provides a natural environment for breeding. You'll find that birds you've raised yourself are your best performers. (If you don't want additional birds, simply remove the eggs shortly after laying.) |

| No unusual tools required You can use the tools you already have, unlike those build-it-yourself shows on PBS. You'll need a hammer, screwdriver, power saw, staple gun, and a paintbrush. If you're better equipped, great. You'll be done even faster. |
||||||||
| Common materials Plywood, chicken wire, nails, screws, staples, and paint. Some sawhorses or an old picnic table. You can get everything you need from any home improvement store. |

| Weatherproof Depending on your climate, you can make the cote as weatherproof as you need. For mild weather, you'll need a few yards of canvas or vinyl If you want to add the optional heater, you'll need a light bulb socket assembly and a lbulb cover. For the ultimate protection, add some insulation and stormdoor plexiglass inserts. You can make the cote a year-round home, or just for the milder months, if that's what you prefer. |

| Build the cote and still have a social life If you've built similar sized projects, you can finish the cote over a weekend. If this is your first project, take it slow and spread it out over two or three. This isn't a race, you know. There are no complicated cuts or complex assemblies. When you're done, you'll stand back and admire your work. Makes a great father-and-son project. |
