Construct a series of interlocking hexagonal cedar frames using 60-degree miter joints. These individual cells serve as modular compartments for different seed varieties, allowing birds to choose their preferred snack.

Insert a clear acrylic hexagonal backboard to act as a window into the seed levels. This design allows for easy monitoring of feed consumption while maintaining the aesthetic integrity of the honeycomb structure.

Install a protective roof composed of hexagonal cedar shingles arranged in an overlapping pattern. This provides essential overhead shelter from rain while enhancing the organic, hive-like appearance of the feeder.

Mount a small, removable landing perch at the bottom of the central chamber for bird stability. Finish the entire unit with a natural, non-toxic linseed oil to protect the wood grain while keeping it safe for the wildlife.
