The important thing is to choose a nest box plan for the species you want to attract that can be opened and cleaned out when necessary. The photo above shows my favorite style birdhouse with a 1 1/2 inch entrance hole.

Hi Ingrid! Better late than never with a reply I guess? I originally filled the box with cedar shavings, fairly tightly packed to imitate a dying tree. The flickers excavated about half of the shavings! Once their nesting was completed, I replaced the remaining shavings which were pretty well soiled, with new shavings, however I only filled the box up to the point where they had excavated before the nesting rather than filling it up to the entrance hole.

Sorry Kim but I haven’t made any new stuff. I just put out my last suet cake yesterday. Don’t know when I’ll have a chance to make another batch.

Hi Larry,

Curious…did removing the sugar from your recipe make a difference with the birds, melting, etc…

Thanks!!
