I've always wanted to set up a bird house on the gable of my house and
install a camera which would be conected to the tv. I know the kids
would love to see a chick being born . So, I would like any tips from
anybirdy out there who can point me in the right direction........

what type of Camera, where to get it (EBAY?)
Cable to run into house?
Power suppy?
Attaching to the TV?
Construction of the bird house?



No help with your main question, though I have looks at various outlets that do
kits from time to time, but if the box faces south, think about somewhere else,
otherwise it might not be quite so enjoyable. I have been far more successful
with boxes facing north and clearly parents are quite capable of keeping their
hatchlings warm but can't keep an over hot box cool.
