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 the flip-down front panel. Grooves below the exit give the bluebirds additional traction, and help out the fledglings. Ample ventilation just under the roofline and drainage holes on the bottom keep the nest dry and comfortable. It is a very strong cedar box that will last many years.

Your bluebirds will feel at right at home in this sturdy cedar birdhouse! Bluebird nest boxes should be mounted on a smooth pole, ideally with a baffle, to keep the birds safe from predators like cats, squirrels, and raccoons. Mounting poles are sold separately.
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.
Measures 7" wide x 8" deep x 11" tall
Pole Kit Features:
Heavy-duty black powder-coated steel construction
Strong 3 piece 1" diameter tubular pole
Ground Stake drives 17" into the ground (not available with Baffles)
Optional Twister Ground Socket twists 20" into the ground for even more strength and stability (strongly recommended if using a baffle)
68" Overall Height
Screws included
Add-on Baffles available!
Our baffles are constructed of galvanized steel and powder-coated black. Squirrel baffle measures 16-3/4" long and 6-1/4" in diameter. Raccoon baffle measures 28" long and 6-1/4" in diameter, and is also effective against squirrels when properly installed (see below). We highly recommend the Twister Ground Socket if using a baffle, as it will support the extra weight better.
To keep squirrels from getting onto your bird feeders, place your pole 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' from the top of baffle to the ground.
