Why do Bluebirds Need Houses? Bluebirds are cavity nesters that only build their nests in sheltered, protected enclosures. As development has cleared many of their natural nesting spots, providing a Bluebird house helps support the local Bluebird population. This can be done at any time of the year, as Bluebirds often return to the same nesting site year after year.

Bluebird House Features The cedar Bluebird House mimics natural cavities, with a 1.5-inch entrance hole placed at an optimal height to keep out larger, predatory birds. The size of the interior chamber offers just enough room for an entire brood of growing hatchlings. The vented, slanted roof sheds water quickly and helps deter predators.

Mealworm Feeder and Nest Clean-Out The feeder is designed specifically for Bluebirds, with easy access for cleaning out the nest after the breeding season. The 1.5-inch entry hole is sized to accommodate Bluebirds while deterring other birds.

Tips for Attracting Bluebirds - Place the Bluebird House in an open area with a clear line of sight facing trees or shrubs, and mount it on a pole or post 4-6 feet off the ground. - Use a baffle to keep predators away from the house. - Bluebirds begin scouting for nesting sites in late winter, so a new house should be mounted by mid-February. - Offer live or dried mealworms in a feeder located away from the bird house, and provide a bird bath or freshwater feature in your yard.

The Songbird Essentials Bluebird House Kit is a durable and attractive addition to your outdoor space, designed to support the local Bluebird population. It's a fun family project that encourages children's interest in nature and provides a lasting habitat for these beautiful birds.
