Recycled Poly Peterson Style Bluebird House Gray/Blue

Recycled Poly Peterson Style Bluebird House Gray/Blue - Constructed of durable eco-friendly recycled poly lumber. Will not rot, crack, split, or fade! 1-3/8" x 2-1/2" oval entrance hole. Attracts Eastern Bluebirds, Western Bluebirds, and Tree Swallows. Pre-drilled holes for mounting. Pole mount with vertical flange or flush mount to a wood post or tree. Proudly made in the USA!

 

Grip grooves, or kerfs, inside the nest box will help the birds climb out of the box easily. A large downward-swinging door allows easy access to clean or monitor the box. This design also allows for the door to be open without disturbing the nest. The tilted nest shelf creates an ideal base on which the adult birds can construct their nest. It also has holes drilled in it to help with drainage. The box has a large slot opening in the bottom, small side openings, and front & rear gaps between the roof and the sides of the box to promote airflow.

 

It is best to place your box with the portal facing east, preferably toward an open field or lightly wooded area. Multiple boxes may be mounted about 15-20 feet apart, so purchase additional boxes for all your bluebird friends!

 

The ideal height for mounting your bluebird box is between 4 and 6 feet from the ground. It is best to mount your nesting box between late September and mid-February, before nesting season begins. The earlier you mount the box, the better, as this allows more time for the birds to scout it out; however, bluebirds may also scout out a new nesting site later in the season to re-nest. Your box may be mounted to a tree, post or on a pole. A bracket with screws is included for mounting on a post or tree. A Phillips head screwdriver is required for mounting.

 

The recycled poly lumber makes cleaning and maintenance a breeze! Simply sweep out the old nest and debris once the nest box is no longer in use for the season. A mild enzyme detergent may be used for cleaning.
