This Suet Log Feeder is very easy to construct. You will need a log, a screw on hook and perches. Even if you don't follow these instructions, the birds will still use whatever type of log feeder you construct.

1. Cut a log that is approximately 9 1/2-10" in circumference with a length of 16". The log shown in the picture on the right is of white-barked birch (Betula). The log does not have to be straight. This log is slightly bent.
   
   
2. Drill a hole that is 1 1/4" round all the way through to the other side. Start at the top of the log.
   
   
3. Drill another hole, again 1 1/4" round all the way through, but this time turn the log so that it does not line up with the first hole that was drilled. See Picture.
   
   
4. Drill the next hole, below the second hole.
   
   
5. Drill the last hole, but align it with the first hole that was drilled.
   
   
6. (optional) Drill 8 holes, 1 1/2" in depth (not all the way through). The perch holes should be 1/4" below the 1 1/4" round holes that hold the suet. Perches should be at least 3" in length. Insert the perches and tighten.
   
   
7. Screw the hook at the top for hanging.
   
   
8. Fill the 1 1/4" holes with Suet. That's it!
