Sparrow-Resistant Bluebird House

Many people attempt to attract Bluebirds to their yard by hanging a birdhouse for them. So many times Sparrows end up moving in before the Bluebirds get a chance to find your new birdhouse. Doctors Foster and Smith feature a new bird house that is “Sparrow resistant.”

The bird house features;

Unique design welcomes bluebirds, discourages unwanted sparrow guests

Front panel latch opening enables easy observation and cleaning

1" eastern white pine construction optimizes insulation and strength

Approved by the North American Bluebird Society, this bluebird house is designed to deter sparrows. Some studies have shown that bluebirds prefer a slot entrance to the standard circular hole entrance and sparrows prefer the opposite. Also, sparrows tend to avoid shallow homes so the Sparrow-Resistant Bluebird House was constructed to be only 5" deep and includes a wooden insert to adjust the depth to a mere 3-1/2". Sparrows will avoid this depth, but bluebirds will still occupy the house. Front panel has latch opening for easy cleaning. Handcrafted from 1" eastern white pine for insulation and durability. House is rough-sawn to give fledglings a foothold when they are ready to climb out of the nest. Ventilation slits located at the top of the sides help prevent overheating and holes in the four bottom corners provide drainage. Floor is also recessed to keep inside dry. Mounting hardware not included (2/1-1/2" wood screws recommended). 5-3/4" x 8" x 10" high.
