Benefits of having Bluebird houses on your property.
Keeping a bluebird house in your yard provides numerous benefits, including natural pest control, biodiversity support, and an engaging educational opportunity. Our bird houses offer a safe nesting site, which is crucial for helping bluebird populations recover after declines from habitat loss and invasive species.
Bluebirds are insectivores that consume large numbers of pests that can damage gardens and crops, including caterpillars, grasshoppers, crickets, and spiders. Some can eat up to 2,000 insects in a single day, reducing the need for chemical pesticides.
Bluebirds are known for their beautiful blue feathers and gentle, warbling songs.
Bluebird populations suffered in the past from habitat loss and competition from invasive species like house sparrows. Providing a nest box supports their recovery by offering a safe, protected nesting site.
Sun Yellow
Expertly crafted Bluebird house with built-in predator guard. The wooden guard around the entrance hole helps protect the nest from predators like racoons and squirrels. Bluebird houses do not have perches to avoid unwanted, predatory birds. Bluebirds can fly directly into the hole.
John Deere Green
Easily lift front panel for easy cleaning. Inside of the front panel is a screen to allow the young to grab on when the time arrives for them to climb out of the box.
It is best to clean the nest box soon after the young fledge to prevent future nests from being built on top of the old ones. Cleaning also helps prevent parasites.
Ford Blue
Bluebirds prefer wide-open spaces, like meadows, pastures, or large lawns with short grass.
If you are putting up more than one box, space them at least 100 yards apart. The entrance hole should face east or southeast to get the morning sun.
