[QUOTE="iowahawkeyes, post: 449648, member: 5124"] It will take 6 months to a year (around here) for a birdhouse gourd to dry. I keep mine in a old corn crib and let nature take its course. They will get moldy and gross looking, but as long as they are hard and not mushy they will be okay. Do not poke or drill holes in them. Once they are dry (light as a feather really) you can drill a hole in them. I use a door hole drill. No need to clean it out, the birds like the stuff inside. The seeds won't always rattle either they sometimes stick to the sides. [/QUOTE]
