Chickadee Slat House
Elegant and sophisticated, yet easy to build, this birdhouse is made of cedar slats that overlap in an alternating pattern. Specifically designed for the black-capped chickadee, a gregarious bird found in every northern state of the U.S.
“Chickadees eat a diverse diet, including garden pests such as caterpillars and larvae,” says Chris Peterson. “They eat seeds of all kinds and berries from a range of plants. They will gladly eat from feeders, whether it’s a traditional seed-filled platform feeder or a peanut butter-slathered suet feeder.”
