Once you have decided to provide a home for bluebirds, it’s important that you consider where to place your birdhouse. Bluebird house placement is very important for the safety of birds and their nestlings as well as successful breeding. The Kingsyard Bluebird House is a high-quality, wooden birdhouse that is designed to specifically attract bluebirds to your garden. Made from New Zealand Pine, this birdhouse is both sturdy and attractive, with air vents that allow for maximum airflow through the wall and floor openings.

The best bluebird house design is one that meets the guidelines set by the North American Bluebird Society. Position the birdhouse carefully so it is sheltered from inclement weather but not too far from food to help overworked parents.While this may not exactly be how you envision keeping a pet, it is the most accurate way. You do not have to cage the bird to consider it a pet. Having nest boxes will allow the bird to be free while also giving you easy access to them. 8. Bluebirds Are Fond of Humans Another important factor to consider is predator protection. Unfortunately, birds are often preyed upon by snakes, raccoons, and other animals. Note that even with the best protection, sometimes animals are able to defeat the predator guards. So, we do our best, and try to protect the birdhouses based on what is in your area. Bears

What I love about this product is that it works as a bird feeder and a birdhouse. It is pretty useful and at the same time decorative and complements our garden. Also, this product has the right size of the hole for bluebird house. I filled the ledge with a variety of bird seeds, and to my surprise, we had warblers, goldfinches, and little blue jays inspect the box and munch on the treats. When spring comes, I take a break from filling the feeders so the bluebirds can nest and rear their baby birds. Bluebird houses can be put up at any time of year, but it’s best to do it before the breeding season starts, which is typically in early spring. This will give the bluebirds a chance to claim the house and start nesting. Which Way Do You Face a Bluebird House? Now that natural cavities are scarce, bluebirds may not have an option but to like humans. They almost wholly depend upon humans to provide nesting boxes that aid their survival. Ironic since humans and urbanization are the reasons bluebirds have to rely on them in the first place. 9. Bluebirds Kill Their Babies Additionally, at the end of each nesting season, you should empty out the nest and brush out any material that is present. You may wish to take down the nest box at this time, as sometimes mice may build their own nest in the box. Also, if desired, there are disinfectants available for use on birdhouses that will not harm the birds but sterilize the wood.If you are doing a bluebird house DIY project, you need to make sure that you use earthly colors when staining the bird house. This way, the birds will enjoy staying in the house that you made for them. A Bluebird house’s hole size should be: 1.5-inch hole for eastern and 1-9/16-inch hole for western and mountain bluebirds, the latter working universally for all 3 species. Mated couples have been seen to participate in extra-pair copulations in the past. According to genetic research, 20-30% of broods studied were sired by more than one male Bluebird; this mainly occurs if an early nesting effort fails and the pair cannot raise a successful family together. 19. Bluebirds Are Omnivore Birdhouse Buzz: Simple bluebird house plans with a table of appropriate dimensions and discussion of the importance of suitable sizing. Once you’ve found the perfect Bluebird house, placement becomes paramount. The type of birdhouse you choose and its size will determine how high it needs to be mounted.

Unlike red and yellow feathers, the blue color in a bird is not generated from the pigments found in the food they consume. Instead, it employs a fascinating technique known as light scattering. Structural colors are created when light interacts with a three-dimensional object. What I like about this particular birdhouse is the fact that it is compact and durable. The birdhouse itself is lightweight. It can accommodate a maximum of three bluebirds, which is perfect especially if the birds have hatched their eggs. The cedar wood has been weather-proofed, that’s why it resists deterioration such as mold formation. The slanted roof, although simple in style, prevents rain snow from penetrating the interior by sliding it down. It also prevents larger birds from staying on the top of the birdhouse. The Toobeett Bluebird Viewing House is a great option for those looking for an easy-to-install and easy-to-clean birdhouse. The raised stainless steel floor on the base helps keep the interior dry, and the tilted top cover and extra ventilation holes on both sides help prevent rain from entering. Ok, so what is a Bluebird House? Well, there are many different styles and variants. In fact there are so many small design differences, each with their own purported benefits that it can be very confusing. So, I’m going to simplify this down to four different styles and compare and contrast each of them. Different styles of Bluebird Houses Bluebirds can be highly territorial and social, both depending upon the need of the situation. They prefer cavities to build homes and may end up using the same nest after one breeding season. You can build nest boxes for them and attract them with mealworms.Predator Guards – As we mentioned before, bluebirds are often preyed upon by snakes, raccoons, and other animals. To help protect the birds, look for a nesting box that has predator guards or that is made from metal or PVC pipe, which predators can’t chew through. Michigan Bluebird Society: Small collection of various bluebird house plans, plus a discussion of appropriately mounting a bluebird house. The plumage of Mountain bluebirds is blue, while the Eastern and Western Bluebirds are blue and rosy beige. Female birds are less colorful than males, but their vibrant colors are comparable, and there is no visible size distinction between the two genders. 30. Cats and Snakes Prey on Bluebirds
