The 'Carpenter's Quarters' Woodpecker Feeding & Nesting Kit

The Experience

The 'Carpenter's Quarters' Woodpecker Feeding & Nesting Kit gives Red-headed, Hairy, and Red-bellied woodpeckers everything they need to nest, feed, and thrive in one coordinated setup. Built around a solid pine woodpecker house with a slate-guarded entry, paired with two dedicated suet feeding stations and a full season of suet supply, this kit turns your property into a genuine woodpecker destination rather than an occasional stop.

The Coveside Three Woodpecker House anchors the kit — 0.75" thick pine construction, a 2.25" entry protected by a repurposed Maine slate square that prevents enlargement, and a swing-up side panel for seasonal cleaning. A bag of wood shavings is included to mimic the natural excavated-cavity feel woodpeckers instinctively seek out. On the feeding side, the Coveside Large Dual Suet Cage Feeder and the handcrafted Cedar Suet Log Feeder offer two distinct feeding styles — standard suet cakes and log-style suet plugs — so you can observe feeding preference and rotate flavors. A 12-pack of Pine Tree Farms Woodpecker Suet Cakes and a 12-pack of Log Jammer Peanut Suet Plugs round out the kit with a full season of feed already on hand.

Scientific Engineering

• Slate-Guarded Entry: The 2.25" entrance is bordered by a repurposed Maine slate square, physically preventing squirrels and other species from enlarging the opening over time.
• Dual Feeding Formats: The Large Dual Suet Cage Feeder accepts standard suet cakes while the Cedar Suet Log Feeder holds 1.125"-diameter suet plugs — giving woodpeckers two distinct feeding textures and formats within the same kit.
• Roughened Interior Surface: The nesting house's interior walls are deliberately roughened, aiding fledglings in gripping and climbing to the entrance when ready to leave the nest.
• Drainage & Ventilation Design: Corner gaps in the base allow drainage, while top gaps and the pale pine hue reduce interior heat buildup during summer months.

Boutique & Conservation Values

• Excavation Instinct, Supported: Woodpeckers naturally excavate cavities in decaying wood — the included wood shavings mimic this environment, encouraging natural nesting behavior in a manmade structure.
• Beyond the Named Trio: The suet feeders in this kit will also draw chickadees, nuthatches, titmice, and wrens, among others — a natural bonus for the attentive backyard steward.
• Weathering With Character: The pine suet feeder will weather to a natural gray patina over time — an intentional aesthetic quality of untreated pine, not a defect.
