All seven were cleaned out last month. I have to use a ladder for four of them. Bluebirds had nested in four and chickadees had nested in two last year. My blues are singing up a storm for a mate! Can't wait for the first baby blues to fly!
@pamalama Thank you, Pam! A friend built them for me out of scrap lumber and left over roof shingles. I had to throw away the squirrel chewed up ones because the bluebirds wouldn't nest in such houses with big holes.
@larrysphotos I'm sure. With the metal rings around the holes, the squirrels can't chew the holes bigger to get in. =)
@shutterbug49 Thank you! All the newer houses have metal rings around the holes which keeps the squirrels from chewing the holes bigger so they can't get in. =)
That's wonderful to have these houses used. I install two bird houses last year, only one was used.
@corinnec Thank you, Corinne. Be patient. There are more birds than just blues that will nest in them. Chickadees and House Finches are among them. =)
