Thankfully, certain protective efforts by orinthologists and backyard enthusiasts have bolstered the comeback of this delightful bird. Your thatched bluebird house is built to Audobon specifications. It has a predator guard on the entrance hole. The side door opens easily for observation or seasonal cleaning. Place your box low to the ground, 4' to 6', on a fence post or a small tree near roadsides, garden borders or orchards.
Bluebirds like to nest near open fields on forest edges.
They like a sunny location. Face the entrance hole towards the south, out of the wind. Placing houses spaced 200 to 400 yards apart entices colonies even though the male is very territorial. Competitors may use one or two boxes but the rest will be left for the bluebirds. New Product Thatching made simple.
