In the past, bluebirds relied on woodpeckers and other cavity-dwellers to provide the vast majority of their nesting places. They’d select abandoned cavities in dead trees or fence places that are rotten to elevate their families. The population declined as growth wiped out many of these natural sites. But man-made nesting boxes have played a vital role in reviving the bluebird. They have specific prerequisites, so these DIY birdhouse programs are designed to meet their needs.

Diy birdhouse for bluebirdsBluebirds like to nest in open areas with low or sparse ground cover. Says rural areas, cemeteries, golf courses and parkways with human traffic are good areas to mount these nesting boxes. Only drive a piece of conduit as shown in right, and attach the home 5 feet. Attach a predator guard and coat the pipe with dirt to discourage nest raiders.
This bluebird box has a couple of interesting features worth pointing out. It is constructed with all the rough side of this timber facing out so that it more closely resembles the birds’ nesting sites. And there is no perch. Notches beneath the entry hole supply footing for bluebirds, but discourage visits and wrens.

The swing-open side is suitable, also. You can check for nests of unwanted birds (since house sparrows and European starlings are not protected by legislation, just remove their nests) and also have easy access for cleaning from the bluebird’s nesting substances after the young have fledged. Since bluebirds often increase as many as three broods in one season you’ll want to get this done immediately.

Best of all, the swing-open side will provide you an opportunity to glimpse in to the nestlings for whom you’ve provided a sturdy and safe home. The side door is great for monitoring the activity.
