This project is a little tricky, but makes a great upside down feeder for birds that really enjoy eating upside down.

The back and front are made with two small pieces of fencing board. You can used a paper pattern to mark out the pieces. Measure the width to 6.5 inches and measure up each side 1.5 inches. In the centre, measure 3 inches and draw a line from the sides marks to that point. Cut out the pattern and draw around it onto the both pieces of wood.

Cut out both pieces and they should look like this.

You need two pieces of wood 5 x 1.5 inches for the base.

Drill two holes through the back and front, countersinking them if possible, as shown here.

Screw everything together with 1.5 inch screws. You may need to drill a pilot hole into the side sections prior to that.

The roof is made of two pieces of 7 x 4 inch wood. This can be fencing board or .5 inch plywood.

Secure one roof section with two nails in each end. Make sure it is flush with the peak and hangs over each end a little.

Use a 6.5 inch square pieces of wire netting for the base. Attach this with staples or use small nails, driving them in 3/4 of the way and bending them over as shown here.

The feeder is hung by a piece of strong cord, about 24 inches long. Put a knot in each end and screw through the knot.

As the screw is tightened, the knot and rope are firmly secured on each end of the feeder.

Lift up the roof and slip a suet block into the feeder. To help keep the feeder level, wrap the cord around what you are hanging the feeder from, in this case it's a screw in a deck beam.

And here's the finished masterpiece!
Now you just sit back and wait for those lucky birds to arrive.

Look! There's a Northern Flicker having an upside-down lunch!

The Bushtits also dropped by and had a fun time feeding.
