The finest Eastern Bluebird House on the
market! Predator guard is standard to keep starlings, squirrels
and other undesirables out, while the small floor discourages House Sparrows from
nesting. Optional Slate Squirrel Guard available to provide extra protection from squirrels that like to enlarge the entrance hole and occupy a bird house. Mount Eastern Bluebird Houses so the entrance hole is approximately five feet above the ground. If possible, face the bluebird house away from prevailing winds and towards a tree or shrub which is within 100 feet of the bluebird house. Trees and shrubs provide a landing spot for the young bluebirds when they first leave the bluebird house. This will keep them off the ground, away from predators. Eastern Bluebird Houses should be spaced at least 100 to 150 yards apart. This Eastern Bluebird House has been approved by the North American Bluebird Society. |

| Eastern Bluebirds can be found east of the Rockies, throughout the eastern United States and Canada, and down to central Mexico. Some populations are year-round residents, but others migrate to more southerly latitudes for the winter. Eastern Bluebirds are found in suburban and rural habitats containing sparse vegetation and scattered trees or other perches. They typically nest in fields, meadows, and orchards, avoiding both densely wooded and congested residential areas. Eastern Bluebirds prefer open sunny habitats, such as meadows, farm fields, lawns, and pastures, with short vegetation. |
