In earlier times bluebirds relied upon woodpeckers and other cavity-dwellers to extend the vast majority of their nesting areas. They’d select cavities in trees that are dead or fence posts that are rotten to raise their families. The bluebird population declined dramatically as development wiped out a number of those nesting sites. But nesting boxes have played a vital role in reviving the treasured bluebird. They have prerequisites, therefore these DIY birdhouse plans are made to meet their needs.

Diy birdhouse for bluebirdsBluebirds like to nest in open areas with low or sparse ground cover. Says parkways with minimal human visitors, cemeteries, golf courses and rural places are good places to mount those boxes. Only drive a 3/4-inch piece of conduit and attach the house 5 feet above the floor with conduit straps as shown at right. Attach a predator guard and coating the pipe using grease to deter nest raiders.
This bluebird box has a couple of interesting features worth pointing out. It’s constructed with all the rough side of the timber facing out so it resembles the birds’ natural sites. And there’s no perch. Notches beneath the entry hole wrens and provide footing for bluebirds, but discourage visits from competing home sparrows.
