Bluebird Houses

Welcome the Bluebirds with the Perfect Nesting Spot

You’ve probably heard about attracting birds and squirrels to your yard in general, but bluebirds specifically offer several benefits. They bring unparalleled charm and activity to your yard, they’re beautiful birds, and they can even nest, allowing you to watch new life enter the world from your backyard.

However, one thing you’re going to love is that they naturally get rid of insects.

Eastern and Western Bluebird Houses for Every Region

Bluebirds aren’t all the same. There are eastern and western bluebirds, and there are even mountain bluebirds. However, mountain bluebirds look entirely different. For the most part, the difference is in their coloring. Western bluebirds have blue that wraps around their throats, but eastern bluebirds have more orange extending from their chest into other regions.

We sell birdhouses designed to cater to both of these, with unique setups to attract each one.

Houses with front or side doors or the Gilbertson Nest Box are recommended for easy monitoring and nest removal. Choose North American Bluebird Society (NABS) approved birdhouses to increase chances of successful broods and fledges. 

Attracting Bluebirds

Look for bluebird houses that are NABS approved (North American Bluebird Society). Most bluebird birdhouses have front or side doors, which offer a safe and easy way to monitor nesting birds like the Gilbertson Nest Box. And yes, monitoring is actually encouraged to help birds thrive! Since bluebird housing alone doesn't always do the trick, you may want to consider live or dried mealworms to further entice bluebirds to your yard.

Preferring grassy open spaces with natural perches for hunting insects, blues are extremely territorial about their space and houses. Best to place one bluebird house in front of your property and one in back so they're not in direct view of each other.

Leaf misters are also attractive to bluebirds in warmer months. During extreme heat, parents will bathe in the mist, transporting water on their feathers back to the nest to cool off their babies.

Find the Right Bluebird House for Your Yard

Bluebirds aren’t big, and they love small, cozy bird homes. If you want them to show up, you need a birdhouse with about 5 inches of floor and a 1.5-inch hole. That’s just right. Drainage holes on the bottom and a functional roof are also must-haves.

You should also pick a hanging model to avoid tree-bound predators.

Wood is the most common material used, and it’s a great choice for a long-lasting and charming birdhouse while being eco-friendly.
