This is fabulous!!!! The dollar store also has wooden cutting boards now that could also be used with this basket. I'm totally going to do this thanks for sharing!!
Best bird feeder I’ve seen where I actually feel like I could make the feeder, without needing loads of fancy/electrical tools. Thank you! And thank you because I’m definitely going to have a go at making it......I’m subscribing to your page 😃
Good, simple and yet functional. It's 2/18/21 right now and we've had two ice storms in central KY in the last week and my current suet feeder is encased in ice. This will keep the suet dry and out of the sun. I'm building this tomorrow. Thanks for the video.
Ice storms are awful, I hope you didn’t lose power. We are due for an ice storm, it’s been several years since the last one. Good luck with the build, it’s really easy to do.
Thank you the best Idea yet great share! Woodpecker died on my step the other day hurt me to my core no wounds only thing I can figure is it died of hunger so I bought suet wonder how I could put it for them he came in my yard like clock work . Another one has started stopping by so I will may sure they have winter food for now on .
It was ment to be! I just came in from feeding ,we are having a huge ice storm, I wondered how on earth could I keep the suet from getting covered with snow and Ice !. My birds are forever in your grace. I've subscribed !!! Thank you so much !
I was originally thinking you would do it with some sort of hoop type hooks to hold the basket. But, this makes more sense, because you can get to inside the basket to refill easily.
Thank you, again. Use to have a wood shop. So alot of scrape wood. Now,I need to redo it at our farm. We're going to Dollartree this week. So I'll have to see if,they have the basket
Nice! I’ve heard this is a great way to discourage magpies and house sparrows because they don’t prefer to perch upside down, but woodpeckers don’t mind. I’m going to give this a try! Thanks 😊
Nice, and you could fix another rack with finer mesh to the top to hold bigger seed or peanuts. Just hope the Jays get to it before the squirrels notice!
I bought a similar product. The grackles and starlings adapted to the feeder in about four hours and finished the suet cake in two days. I liked the design, but the hypothesis that only woodpeckers and nuthatches would hang from below was disproved in my yard this weekend. Maybe my birds have evolved? Lucky me.
Cheap but that setup allows for starlings to hang easier. For my upside I use a regular suet feeder but I duct tape around the sides which makes it tougher for starlings. I do like your other dollar store hack on the peanut butter may need to give a try.
Great! I have been wanting one of these. But did not want to pay so much. Even I can do this! I may try using my single suet feeder if I can make it work. One less thing to shop for. Thanks!
I tried that design and found that contrary to some starlings had no difficulty hanging upside down while flapping their wings feeding on the suet. I used quite a bit larger board (actually plywood) with no good effect. Final result: Just much more trouble changing the suet. I have also used a 'chicken wire' basket around the suet holder that keeps them off the block and that works much better while still allowing the small birds access from the bottom and through the openings.
We have problems with squirrels too. Of all the feeders, this one is the one they don’t bother. Probably because the other feeders are so much easier to steal from.😄
Yes, I saw a video where they had put up the suet cage on a 2x4 upright pole with wire mesh around it bolted to an horizontal ply to dissuade starlings -- the woodpeckers would take turns going up and down the 2x4 from ground up! Q: How did you put up the chicken wire -- does the chicken wire and the suet cage all hang down some horizontal support?
GREAT IDEA I have to try it myself I have buit a lot of sunbirds feeders (you can see at my channel) and it is about time to upgrade the woodpackers feeder
I checked but we only have DollarRama here. No baskets like that there. I would rather make my own but they do have a nice suet feeder there. Neat to see the upside down design. It also solves an issue I was having. I can hang it under a big overhang right near a window. 🤗😉🤗
Thanks for watching and sharing. I haven't seen them in our Dollar store in a while either but keep your eye out at other places, I'm sure you can find something similar. Good luck.
Thank you and it works great....this winter the starlings will not be happy. The Harry Woodpeckers took to it immediately and I have not seen one Starling or Blue Jay even attempt it. Nova Scotia
Squirrels would be on that feeder in a heart beat. If you know a city, state, country where there aren't any squirrels then this might work, but not here in America.
@@LSatch Then you don't have a squirrel problem. I get as many as 20 squirrels and they annihilate everything they can get unless my pellet gun gets them first. I don't think they're cute.
You get a 4" PFC 7-8' pipe from Walmart. You sink 3 36" metal fence post designed to chicken wire. Place the $' pipe over these posts. (You'll need to prefigure the post placement to hold the pipe which should be located in the open enough so squirrels can't jump to it.) Now get big hooks and hang feeders from the top of the pipe. Mostly this works until a smart squirrel figures out how to run up the pipe with momentum. Then buy lamp oil from Walmart and coat the outside of the pipe. It now becomes impossible for them to climb. You can have some laughs watching the squirrels fall on their butts. They'll periodically keep trying. So keep the pipe lubed. This is the only thing I've tried that absolutely works. The 4" pipe is key because the diameter is too great for them to reach around.
@@LSatch Some people seem to have an endless cash supply but I do not. I think songbirds have a more difficult life, woodpeckers too because people are cutting down too many trees where they make their homes. A dead tree is a home for many families of birds. I have kept a dead tree on my property just for this reason and it isn't a danger to any building, etc. should it some day tip over. Thank you Larry for helping wildlife carry on, you're a good soul.
Have you considered the coating on the basket, which may be some type of rubber or plastic, similar to the coating on a dish drainer? I would worry that the woodpeckers might ingest bits of it while pecking.
I’m not sure there’s any benefit from it being upside down but I love watching the birds maneuver around to get to it. I’ve read that starlings are not likely to use it but we don’t have starlings here, (knock on wood). The squirrels usually don’t steal from it either because because there are other feeders they steal from.
Do squirrels climb on it? Are they able to reach it. I li5ve squirrels,I just do like that they make the seeds disappear too fast, leaving nothing for the birds.
@@LSatch My squirrel proof idea works. Easy and fairly cheap. Use either a 2x4 trimmed to where it's 1 1/2" x 2 1/4" for the pole . Slide a pvc down tube from a rain gutter (8' is about $ 8 at menards)You can also slide it over a pipe used for your feeder. I spay a little garage door opener grease to add but I don't think you need it. I watch em try but they cant grip around it or clamp claws in it .They can only jump up so high and fall off. Mine are all at least 5 feet from ground.They are entertaining to watch them try.Keep the feeders away from trees or fences they can jump down onto them. I have 3 squirrels that come every day and feed from what the birds drop on the ground.
As much as this is all well and good at the dollar store near me I can buy a wire suet cake basket for a buck. Unwrap the cake, put it in the basket, slide the door back on and hang it in the tree. Done and done.
@@LSatch yeah sorry bud, I wasn't dissing you, I'm a woodworker too and can appreciate your effort. I've actually seen suet baskets incorporated into U shaped pieces of wood with grooves cut into them for the birds to have some grip. Carry on and have a great day and keep on with the interesting projects.
Sorry for the late reply, it was in my "held for review" file for some reason. Yes, it helps keep birds like starlings and grackles from eating there, they have trouble holding on.
I don’t think any feeder is squirrel proof. My daughter’s family put up a squirrel proof feeder recently and the first day a squirrel got got in it. My son in law had to let it out.
Not really. ua-cam.com/video/5naIHuKlhTg/v-deo.html I have never seen a squirrel on it, they go for the easy stuff. Starlings can only stay there for a very short time
And you use: Bushels; feet and inches; fractions of an inch; US gallons ; Fahrenheit; off of ; burglarize; wrench for spanner; dirt for soil. From England 🇬🇧
@@LSatch your spellings are often more sensible . My brother lives in Ca. I don't knock every thing but I am confused why the spellings are simplified but your weights and measures are archaic.
I’ve had that happen too. In fact I have a playlist on my channel about it. Larry v Rocky. I haven’t had a problem for months after adding some pvc pipe and hanging it higher. Not to say they won’t attack tonight but so far so good.
I know starlings can ruin feeders. I don't know how to help that. We have squirrels but they usually go for the sunflower seeds. We don't have grackles here. Good luck
Fun! Thanks. You can also use the top as a platform feeder!
Great idea!
I used 2 of those baskets together with zip ties and 2 suet cakes. It worked great but I like this idea .
That’s fantastic. Thanks for watching
This is fabulous!!!! The dollar store also has wooden cutting boards now that could also be used with this basket. I'm totally going to do this thanks for sharing!!
Great idea!!
@@LSatch That dollar store cutting board probably will not hold up long in wet weather, better to find a solid piece of hardwood like he used.

Is it squirrel proof
I don’t think any feeder is squirrel proof. My daughter’s family put up a squirrel proof feeder recently and the first day a squirrel got got in it. My son in law had to let it out.
Why wouldn't you put it on the top instead of the bottom?
There are some bird watchers that say it keeps the cackles and starlings from eating it. It’s not a problem for the woodpeckers
You must not get squirrels and if you do how do you keep them away from this
We do have squirrels. They have a difficult time with this feeder, they usually go for the easier ones.
I like to make one as I have all the material here but there are too many monkey here.
Wow. I can see where that would be a problem.
I have seen peice of tough edged wood at Hobby Lobby too.
It doesn’t have to be live edge, this was just leftover from another project.
