Preserve the Bluebird. By purchasing these birdhouses, you are helping to conserve and preserve the American bluebird. Their design, following the guidelines of the American Bluebird Society, provides the utmost comfort for bluebirds. They are also a fun and rewarding project to build with your family. Where should I place my birdhouse? It is advisable to place your birdhouse on a metal pole at a height of at least 5 feet and no more than 15 feet to lower the risk of predation. In general terms, Bluebirds prefer open or semi-open grassland habitat with widely spaced trees and little or no undergrowth, and with sparse ground cover or low grass. They can be found in forest clearings, clear-cut forests, burned areas, pastures, orchards, mowed meadows, large lawns, parks, cemeteries, golf courses, and along roadsides. They like areas with perches (such as fences, power lines, and shrubs) nearby for hunting and to be able to keep an eye on their nests. However, each species has a number of specific and additional preferences. For eastern bluebirds, nestboxes should be spaced at intervals of at least 125 to 150 yards. For western and mountain bluebirds, this spacing should be 200 to 300 yards. Keep this in mind when setting up a trail. Placement of the birdhouse Depending on whether you plan to hang the birdhouse from a tree, nail it to a pole, or place it on an elevated platform, we recommend that you go to your hardware store to purchase the necessary materials ahead of time.
