This uniquely styled bird feeder with it's 9 in diameter disk is designed to protect the suet from driving rain. The fine wire mesh makes it all but impossible for squirrels to eat suet destined for song birds. The cylindrical feeder shape allows birds to eat from any side and angle and favors clinging and perching birds (squirrels, nature’s acrobats, are able to eat from this feeder - see photo - but cannot empty it quickly as is the case with coarser wire feeders.) The length of the cylinder (11 inches) acts as a tail prop for woodpeckers.

Refill the suet cage from the top with suet balls or nuggets by simply unhooking its wire clasp from the eye hooks under the protective disk. The feeder will hold 4 standard size (4 oz.) suet balls, a bag of nuggets (27 oz.)or a combination of those.

Handcrafted on a lathe, this bird feeder top is made from natural non-pressure treated Douglas Fir to which a coat of water-based deck stain was applied for weather protection and style. As it is for decks, it is prudent to stain it every few years in order to ensure the durability of the wood exposed to the elements.

Because of the characteristics of wood and because every feeder is individually handcrafted, there will be some variations between the items. I have taken care to select the best wood possible for each feeder.

When you purchase this suet feeder, you will receive the following:

* a cleverly designed product made by a bird-loving UFO aficionado (what else would explain the shape...)

* a suet feeder that blends into your suburban garden environment with a broad selection of water-based deck stain colors to choose from

* a bird feeder that is favorably built for smaller, clinging birds that should make your suet last longer

* a handmade, solid product that is easy to refill and maintain

* a 3in x 11in suet cage for use with standard size suet balls and nuggets easily available locally or online

* a hook, clip and 8 inch chain for hanging in your garden or on a porch

* the gratitude of a wood turner who is better at watching birds at the feeder than photographing them

Color options listed are semi-transparent unless specified as solid

Please note that suet balls or nuggets are not included but are available from a number of stores, e.g., Tractor Supply, Lowes, Costco, or online.

Our nest boxes are ever evolving with improved designs and materials and are inspired by modernist styling for robustness and optimum functionality - no nails, staples nor glue are used to hold the box chassis together - component elements that cannot come apart all slot together precisely, in a specific sequence to provide a solid box.

In order to accommodate various bird species that inhabit nest boxes, we have developed a version for each - this nest box was designed specifically for the Northern Saw-Whet Owl and Screech Owl.

Should any damage occur to any of the components, these can be replaced individually. Two lateral screws that hold the oversize roof in place allow quick and easy access for annual nest box cleanout. The roof is sized to provide protection from rain, sun, and predators .

If you are looking for a serviceable, long-life Nest Box, then our nest boxes that are precision made on our CNC machine from quality, 1/2 inch thick untreated marine grade plywood are ideal for you.

The exterior of the box is a sanded, high quality grade paintable surface. We provide a number of semi-transparent or solid wood sealers/ stain colors but also offer you the option of finishing it yourself in order to best suit your personal environment and tastes and to save you money. Painting or staining the outside of your nest box will increase its longevity (leave the inside untreated.)

Nest boxes can be finished in either water-based sealers, oil (decking oil, linseed oil), varnish, or paint. We recommend a good quality, low voc exterior paint or deck stain that protects wood against mildew and mold, which can lead to wood rot, and that provides UV protection to reduce the risk of cracking and splintering. Give time for the oil or paint to dry and air-out thoroughly before use.

The interior of the box should not be painted and should be left as it is – raw untreated wood

Our nesting box design features the following:

• an interior space sized for the specific species

• an inside perch is included to allow fledgling Saw Whet Owls reach for food and peer outside their nest box

• an entry hole sized for specific bird species

• a front roof overhang provides shade, helps protect the entrance from water, and makes it difficult for predators to access the main opening

• a gap at the rear provides air ventilation to help avoid overheating

• Recessed floor and 6 drainage holes in the bottom ensure nests stay dry

• two keyhole openings in the back that allow for easy hanging

• Select between various pre-selected stain colors or not stained - for you to finish

Each box is sized in order to maximize the opportunity of accommodating a specific bird species.

This uniquely styled bird feeder that appears to hover in your garden holds the food underneath its protective wood disk, which is favorable to many small bird species who don't mind eating upside-down, e.g., woodpeckers, flickers, nuthatches, etc. while discouraging squirrels and some larger birds, e.g., Grackles, Starlings, or House sparrows from eating all your suet. The suet is naturally protected from driving rain, thus avoiding it being dissolved during storms.

Note that these feeders, with their assorted colors and minimalist profile, are intended to fit into environments that are more suburban than rural.

Handcrafted on a lathe, this bird feeder is made from natural non-pressure treated Douglas Fir to which two coats of water-based deck stain were applied for weather protection. As with outdoor decks, it is prudent to consider applying a coat of stain every few years to protect the wood.

I have taken care to select the best wood possible; where there are minor imperfections in the wood, e.g., knots or superficial cracks, these have been consolidated and solidified with epoxy to ensure product robustness and longevity.

The wooden feeder disk measures approx. 9 inches in diameter and is approx 3-1/2 inches tall including attached suet cage. The suet cage opens from the side so that the food cake rests securely on the frame, not on the door; unlike most suet cages that are held in by staples, it is held in place with two outdoor coated screws that are accessible to you, which means you can tighten (if needed after a few seasons), remove or replace the cage for cleaning or painting whenever desired.

Because of the characteristics of wood and because every feeder is individually handcrafted, there will be some variations between the items.

• a hook, clip and 8 inch chain for hanging in your garden or on a porch

• the gratitude of a wood turner who is better at watching birds at the feeder than photographing them

Please note that suet cakes are not included but are available from a number of stores, e.g., Tractor Supply, Lowe’s, Costco, or online.
