That's the other one I was considering Dave, and I was worried about them feeling trapped. I returned the deluxe dinner bell (had holders for suet), and got this cage. It, too, holds suet in the center. The top opens. I put a plastic plate in, and punched a couple small holes for drainage.

Great news! The bbs have laid one egg this a.m. This has to be a record - nest built in 24 hrs. after opening the hole, and first egg 48 hrs. later.

I have two guests in the courtyard this a.m., too. Will retrieve them (hopefully others) this afternoon. I'm monitoring very closely. The teacher in the room overlooking the bb nesting box is watching, too.
