Bluebird Houses
It's becoming popular attract
bluebirds to your backyard. These birds are a joy to have, as
they are a medium size, and are a member of the thrush
family. They are either omnivorous or they often will consume
insects.
Bluebirds are territorial, and they naturally live in open
grassland areas where there are a few scattered trees. Like
many woodpeckers they are cavity nesters.
Bluebirds
will often produce two to four broods in the early part of
the the spring and summer months of March through August.
The male will find a nesting site and then work to attract
a potential mate to that site with mating behaviors
(flapping wings and singing). He follows this with placing
some material in the nesting site ( a box or a tree
cavity). Once the female accepts the site, she alone
builds a nest and will stay and incubate the eggs.s
Predators for Bluebirds: Cats and raccoons
are two of the more common enemies of bluebird, so you want
to be sure to mount your bluebird house in a location that
these critters can't get to it. A pole or someplace like the
side of a building can work well. In addition, other birds
that compete with bluebirds include the common starling and
house sparrow. Either of these will kill adult bluebirds in
their nests along to claim a nesting site.
