Description
NEW Nest box & post kit specifically for Western Bluebirds!
A good bluebird box should be more than just a cavity for a bird to build a nest in. It should be easy to monitor, easy to clean, and provide a safe nesting site. This one has it all. It is very easy to monitor and clean with a flip-down front panel. The fledgling ladder below the exit gives the bluebirds additional traction. There is plenty of ventilation just under the roof line and drainage holes on the bottom to keep the nest dry. It is a very well-made box! An information sheet is included with the nest box.
Bonus: Tree Swallows will also use a bluebird nest box. Try installing two bluebird nest boxes close to each other and each of these beautiful species will take one house. Bluebird houses must be spaced at least 300′ apart for each bluebird pair, but houses placed less than 10 ft apart will allow for one pair of bluebirds and one pair of tree swallows to co-exist.

Our Bafflesare constructed of galvanized steel and powder-coated black. Squirrel baffle measures 16-3/4″ long and 6-1/4″ in diameter. Raccoon baffle is 28″ long and 6-1/4″ in diameter and is also effective against squirrels when properly installed (see below).
To keep squirrels from getting onto your bird feeders, place yourpole 8-10′ away from railings, roofs or trees. This prevents the squirrels from leaping over the baffle.Squirrel baffles should be mounted a minimum of 4′ fromthe top of baffle to the ground.
