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 box should never have a perch; perches encourage House Sparrows and help predators access the box; bluebirds don't need a perch.

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.
