Golly, Bill, I had heard that before, but didn't even think to look.
I looked at the end opposite the hanging tab strip. (Going outside to
check.....)
No, only the one opening. The cage is a block of pine, 7/8 x 3/4 x
2-1/2, routed by a 1/2 dia. bit 1-1/2 inches on the 3/4 inch side with
14 mesh black metal screen stapled over it, 7/16 hole one end, 1/4 x
2-1/4 aluminum hanging strip stapled to the other. (Hey! I could
make these!) Oh, the cork looks to be stamped out of 1/4 inch thick
cork sheet.
I'm sure that somebody will reply, "Oh yah, those cages are from Joe,
the guy who lives a half-mile off the Old Curvy Road if you take a
left where the barn used to be."
Thanks for the info.
