Horizontal Bluebird House |
|
Mount your bluebird house on a post as high up as you can get it, away from tree branches so that predators such as cats, squirrels, raccoons, and snakes are not tempted. Clean out the house in the fall, but leave the birdhouse up all year, as it will be used as a roosting spot in winter. The male bluebird selects the house, and the female alone builds the nest and sits on the eggs. Depending on where you live, you may have mountain bluebirds, western bluebirds, or eastern bluebirds. Note: We have read that bluebirds will not nest in a house that is not out in the open; however, in our yard, our bluebird house is a few feet away from 2 trees, and they nest there every year!

HORIZONTAL BLUEBIRD HOUSE
Designed by Frank Zuern to be a safer nesting place for Eastern Bluebirds, this horizontal box simulates a hollow tree branch. Over 90% nest near the back of the box, behind a vertical baffle, out of the reach of predators. Breeds east of the Rockies from southeastern Canada to Gulf of Mexico. Winters in southern part of breeding range and Mexico. Prefers open woodlands and farmlands with scattered trees.
