Bluebird Houses
Bluebirds are medium-sized birds which feed mostly on insects, native berries, mealworms, and peanut butter suet. Bluebirds will not visit seed bird feeders, so many Bluebird lovers offer mealworms instead. Bluebirds nest in natural tree cavities and old woodpecker holes. When natural nesting sites are unavailable, bluebirds will nest in manmade bluebird houses.
Mount your bluebird house on a fence post or pole, no higher than 4 or 5 feet from the ground. Situate the birdhouse along wooded areas facing open land. It is important to mount your blue bird house as far from human habitation as possible. Providing nesting materials is a strong factor in attracting nesting bluebirds since collecting nesting materials can be a long and difficult process for the birds. Bluebirds like soft grasses and fragrant pine needles for nesting material.
