For the Birds is a fundraiser created for The Toronto Botanical Garden, a birdhouse competition to design and construct birdhouses that promote nesting and provide shelter for migrating birds. That's Josh Coulas' Heart entry for Bluebirds above. More after the jump.

Here's a sampling of contest entries:

Janice Lee, Son Van Huynh and Nancy Wilson's Tree Swallow birdhouse.

Mike Wasilewski and Denis Flanagan's Tree Swallow birdhouse.

Kate Fox-Whyte's House Wren birdhouse.

John Greg Ball and Bobby Tripp's House Wren birdhouse.

Dieter Janssen's Chickadee birdhouse.
