Blue birds tend to be a little pickier than most birds about the design and location of their houses. A blue bird house with base of 4"?4" and height of 8-12" is well designed one. Proper ventilation and drainage shows that the house is properly planned.
The first thing to be taken care while placing nest box is that, it should be placed in a good blue bird habitat.
Some tips for best placement are:
. Blue birds are most commonly found in rural areas.They primarily breed ground insects during the nesting season and hence fence posts and lower branches of a lone mature tree are good hunting perches.
. Low vegetation in ground helps them see and capture insects.
. Nest boxes should be at least 100 feet from brushy or wooded areas where wrens are likely to be and preferably at least 1/4 mile from habitats of sparrows.
. Open fields, fence rows, orchards where no pesticides are used, golf courses, public parks, et al. are good areas to place blue bird houses.
. Bluebirds claim territories of 2-3 acres while breeding. Research shows they will generally not nest closer than 100 yards from the next box.
. Pairing the boxes 5-15 feet apart will keep sparrows out.
