Building bird projects is one of my hobbies. You didn't mention how old your
son is but these sites can help with complete instructions for building
feeders, bird houses, and more. Feeders can be as simple or as complicated
as you want to make them. Same for birdbaths but you can make some
attractive simple birdbaths from terra cotta pots and saucers. These are
some of my favorite sites:

Here are some clay pot ideas--very easy and cute. I have made one for a bird
bath and didn't even decorate it--never got around to it---and the birds
didn't care at all.
See what you think.
