Woodpecker/Flicker Houses |
| Flickers and a variety of Woodpeckers like to excavate their own homes in decaying trees, a bag of wood chips is provided with some of these woodpecker/flicker birdhouses. To entice these birds to these houses, spread some of the wood chips in the bottom of the birdhouse to simulate soft shredded bark of a dying tree. |
