Description

Our Recycled Bluebird House is sure to provide years of service in your yard, as it will not peel, chip, crack or fade. Constructed of recycled milk bottles and other plastics, the front panel of the box is held in place by a long cotter pin that is installed on the lower right side. Once the pin is removed, the front panel of the house simply swivels up from the bottom, for easy cleaning after each nesting. Also built into the design is adequate ventilation and a 1.5″ diameter hole for Bluebirds.

Features a predator guard around the opening that prevents a raccoon from reaching in.

We highly recommend placing a copper hole protector (as in picture) over the entrance hole to prevent any critters from making the hole bigger (woodpeckers, squirrels). We can install this for you, just ask in notes on the order.

Bluebird nesting boxes should be mounted on a post or pole 4-6′ off the ground. Mounting on a tree invites predation by raccoons or squirrels. We carry the perfect 6′ metal pole that comes with a flange for mounting the box and is easy to tap into the ground.

We do advise placing a squirrel baffle under the box.

If you like to check on hatchlings or nestlings early on, remember to wear gloves. Try not to leave a scent on the box (again, predators have good noses).
