Bluebird nest boxes are most successful when placed on a post or pole, in an open area, about 4' to 5' high.
The Western and Mountain bluebirds in the East Kootenay prefer a slightly larger entrance hole than their Eastern neighbour - but not so large that European Starling can enter.
A roughened interior aids the birds in exiting the nest. A bluebird house should never have a perch, as they do not need one and it prevents predators from overtaking the nest.
Other species you may attract with this nest box type include: Violet-green Swallow, Tree Swallow, Mountain or Black-capped Chickadee, and Red-breasted or White-breasted Nuthatch.
The boxes will come with a very clear "needs sheet" for your new purchase.
The Rocky Mountain Naturalists have a limited supply for sale.
