Blue Bird Houses: Basic Nest Box to Castle!
Nest Box basics to recycled houses, to deluxe architectural models, Blue Bird Houses come in many shapes and sizes!
Provide bluebirds with their required nest sites and help this iconic species continue to thrive. Competition for these nesting cavities is still fierce, and by putting up blue bird houses, you can encourage them to nest in your yard.
The best houses are not the most expensive, but the ones which are approved by The North American Bluebird Society. They have proper dimensions and drainage, and usually have some type of predator guard around the entrance. Simple nest boxes, can be acquired for as little as $15 to $20. While the more fancy and decorative models range anywhere from $50 to $400 depending on materials used and level of detail. This patina copper top bluebird house is actually hand crafted of PVC, the same vinyl siding on your house! These types of houses will never crack, split or fade, and generally last a lifetime.
Nesting material and bird baths will also encourage bluebirds to take up residence, as well as their favorite food: meal worms!

A Good Wood Birdhouse Destroyed By Squirrels
I’ve been on a rant about the squirrels in our yard lately…and here is just another statistic! At one time this was a really nice wood birdhouse, but it’s now become a squirrel box. And that is ok, because squirrels need a place to roost on cold winter nights too , but I was pretty sure they nested in trees. Now I do recall seeing Squirrel houses, so I wonder how many broods may have been born and raised in this multi-compartment house?Now that there are some 25 to 40 squirrels invading the yard, and it’s getting totally out of control…we’re not so sure about the cute little bushy-tailed critters. We have lots of bird feeders, but we have even more squirrel baffles!
Oh yes, and the chicken wire adorning the 5-inch hole in the screen porch looks just lovely too…Thanks a lot Mr. Squirrel!
