Lucky has always had a curiosity about looking into holes.
Aimee or I can cup our hand and make a "hole" with the other making a small space to look into and he'll peer down to see what's inside. He also likes hiding underneath the speaker covers as another game to play.
So, I thought he (she) would like a bird house. Aimee and I went to hobby lobby to look at a few. They had some unfinished bird houses, but they didn't seem right. The structure was too large, the entrance too small, or it didn't open up at all. We decided to just wait. Then we stumbled upon an unfinished tissue box. It was perfect.

At first, as with almost all new things, Lucky was scared of it. But put something shiny next to it, and he will go right up and check it out. All it took was a mirror near the box and he went over to it Eventually he went inside.
The hole was a tight fit so I filed it to make it larger. He's crawled through it a couple times, but as you can see it's been with the bottom sliding "door" open- he hasn't been in there with it shut. Currently he is in his new house just hanging out.

The problem isn't the back wall, it's the lack of furniture.
