Sparrow-resistant Bluebird House

If you put up a bluebird house near an old field, orchard, park, cemetery or golf course, you'll have a good chance of attracting a pair of bluebirds. They prefer nest boxes on a tree stump or wooden fence post between three and five feet high.

House sparrows have been known to kill baby bluebirds as well as adults sitting on the nest. This Kentucky style, slot entrance bluebird house is designed to thwart sparrows. According to research at the University of Kentucky, bluebirds prefer a slot entrance to the standard circular hole -- sparrows prefer the opposite. In addition, sparrows don't like a shallow box and bluebirds don't seem to mind. This box is only 5" deep but if sparrows still continue to be a problem, a wooden insert is included to reduce the depth even more. Sparrows rarely use the 3-1/2" depth, but bluebirds will still occupy it.

Dimensions: 10"high x 6"wide x 8-1/2"deep
