Product Information

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. These brands have gained the support and approval of many delighted customers across the United States and even abroad. Not only these brands offer the best bluebird house design, but also provide the most enduring ones that will benefit you and the local community of birds in your area. Make sure the box is placed away from trees, as predators such as cats and hawks can easily climb up to snatch eggs or vulnerable nestlings. 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 Choose an open area with plenty of clear air space on all sides of the house, at least 25 feet away from shrubs or trees that could conceal predators.

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. Bluebirds are social creatures and they like to nest near other birds. Consider placing several bluebird houses in close proximity to each other so that multiple birds can join the same nesting area. Meanwhile, I am glad that the design of the roof is dual-purpose. First, it prevents water from staying on top, thus slowing down the decay process. Next, it stops larger birds from perching on the birdhouse. Invasive and predator birds won’t be able to perch properly because of the slanted roof, thus keeping the bluebird and its eggs safe inside the birdhouse at all times. With this feature, I am confident that the bluebirds will have a great time laying their eggs, hatching, and fledging them.To protect the bluebird house against snakes, there are two primary methods. The first (and most effective) method is to mount the bluebird house in a mowed field, at least 10-15 yards away from any wooded or tall grassy area where a snake may live. This is effective as snakes can often become prey themselves out in the open.

Placement: Put a bluebird house in a wide open area with a clear flight path into the nest. Bluebirds use houses that are placed in full sun and far away from the shade. Also, do not place a bluebird house near bird feeders.

A traditional Bluebird House is just a box with an overhang roof. It will open so that the nestbox can be monitored, either from the front or the side. This basic design has been in use for decades with lots of success. The design is simple, easy for anyone to DIY, and will serve Bluebirds well as long as the opening is protected. A simple nest box with a flat roof. A nestbox with a sloped roof The easiest way to protect a bluebird house from a cat, squirrel or raccoon is to install a Noel guard around the mounting hole. This effectively prevents them from reaching inside of the hole. It is very effective for most nest boxes. We have a guide on how to fabricate your own Noel Guard from hardware cloth here. The product came in fully-assembled, which means I didn’t need to do anything except to mount it on the yard. I chose to fix this birdhouse in the tree near our bedroom window by nailing it to the trunk. My only problem was the persistence of the squirrels who wanted to get a share of mealworms and fruits I provided for the bluebirds. To divert the squirrels away from the birdhouse, I have installed a squirrel feeder on a safe distance.
