After acquiring some basic woodworking tools in the last few month, I can whip one up pretty quickly. However I'm not sure it would be useful given my location.
I'm located in the suburbs so bird species are limited, no forest dwellers like bluebird and woodpeckers, and winter population is mostly composed of cardinals, dark eyed junco, common redpoll, and house sparrows. I do have row of eastern white cedar around the (tiny) yard which birds seem to like use as shelter all year round.
My two major concern is that birds would prefer the cedar and not bother with the box, and it would be taken over by house sparrows.
So should I bother with one?
