Summer hang one for nesting and a spare for the parents to roost in when the young get big enough for them to keep themselves warm. When the young fledge, pull the material out and you have two roosting spots...one for the grown up and one for the kids!!! :wink: When the young fledge the etra one gives them a cozy spot to sit during the day while the others in the nest mature to fledge.
