Peterson Style Bluebird House
A more deluxe model than our regular blue bird box, this design is proven to be more predator resistant due to its sharply sloping profile. It has a deeper interior that keeps the fledglings further away from the reach of any predator that may be able to cling to the box. This box also includes pre-drilled holes for mounting and for ventilation and drainage purposes. The extra material and time to construct add cost over the standard variety, however, for those who have had predator problems, we suggest this upgrade. Mount your box 3’-5’ high on a post. Mounting any lower than 3’ will increase the chances of predation and mounting higher than 5’ will encourage house sparrows to take over. Boxes should be “doubled up”- for every box placed, place another one within 10-15’. This is the best way to decrease competition. Place “sets” of boxes 100’ apart. Place “sets” of boxes 100’ apart. Face the box towards a tree, shrub, or pole so the young can fly towards it. Clean box out yearly in the fall for best results.
