Instructions for the Advent Birdhouse

Welcome each day of the holiday with this Birdhouse Advent Calendar. Behind each window and door in this house is a tiny songbird, waiting for its turn to come out.

Each day, starting Dec. 1, open a window or door and put the bird out on its perch. The 25 birds include blue jays, cardinals, robins, bluebirds, finches and chickadees, and a special white dove for Christmas Day.
