    It depends on the box and on how much time I have. I had this one, which someone made for me…

    But that type doesn’t work with the boxes I have now, which have a roof that is peaked in the middle. I just made one out of a cardboard box this past week when I thought I saw a wren looking at a box my Chickadees are nesting in. It’s a cobbled together thing, not very pretty, but it seems to be working so far. There’s a thread on the old BluebirdNutCafe forum – I’ve brought the most pertinent posts with photos over here and made them a sticky topic at the top of this forum. If you want to see the whole discussion you can see it here: How to Make a Wren Guard. It has quite a few ideas.
