Why do songbirds need my support? Bluebirds and other cavity-nesting species typically seek natural cavities to build their nests, such as in old trees or woodpecker holes. But they have been facing increasing levels of habitat loss due to deforestation, land commercialization, and aggressive competition by invasive bird species for the same nesting sites. A great way to bring back and boost local populations is to put up a well-built bird house (aka nestbox), or a trail of them. Why install a bird house? Because that would support several bird species in your area while you get to enjoy a yard with fewer mosquitos! Songbirds will also enhance your garden’s ambience with their beautiful songs and playfulness. And bird-watching is known to have positive effects on mental health. How many will I need? It depends on the size of your property. For a small backyard, mounting two bird houses 5-20 feet apart will allow two different species to nest in them peacefully (e.g. Bluebirds in one and Tree Swallows, Titmice, Wrens or Chickadees in the other). For larger properties, you can create a bluebird trail of any size by mounting nestboxes about 300 feet apart, in singles or in pairs. Would any bird house do? Not quite! You need a high-quality nestbox that is well-built to sustain the weather, well ventilated, has features to thwart predators, and that is designed to attract songbirds and give them the shelter they need. WHITEHORSE is proud to present its new collection of bird houses for outdoors. Our premium cedar birdhouses are built to satisfy bluebirds, and you!

Not quite. Cavity size is one of the main factors that will determine the attractiveness of a nestbox to songbirds. And experienced birders have discovered that eastern bluebirds tend to prefer a floor size around 15 square inch, while western and mountain bluebirds prefer a floor around 22 square inch. We created a bluebird range map based on their year-round presence and migratory routes. Please select a floor size according to your region in the provided color map. If you live in an area where both eastern and western bluebirds are present, go with the larger floor! Would any floor size do? Not quite.

Predator Guards We extended the entry hole by 1" and added a stainless steel guard to prevent squirrels and woodpeckers from enlarging it. We also created a set of 5 metal guards (not included) that will make it easier for you to change the hole size to attract or exclude different bird species. Better Drainage We created this unique sloped floor design to slide waste towards the drain holes. Tip: remember to keep the drain holes unclogged from any nesting material. A Second Floor A stainless steel floor beneath the nest allows for blowfly larvae to fall through to the drain holes. Weatherproof Joints Did you know? A wet nest is one of the most common reasons that a nestbox fails. So to prevent windswept rain from entering the box, we constructed the joints in dado-style to make them wind- and rain-proof. We also drilled the vent holes on the sides at an upward angle! 15 sq in Floor 22 sq in Floor 15 sq in Floor With Pole and Baffle Bird House Pole Bird House Pole with Baffle Solar Powered Bird House camera Add to Cart Add to Cart Add to Cart Add to Cart Add to Cart Buying Options Customer Reviews 4.6 out of 5 stars 856 4.6 out of 5 stars 856 4.6 out of 5 stars 856 — — 3.7 out of 5 stars 7 Price $39.95$39.95 $44.95$44.95 $139.95$139.95 $69.95$69.95 $109.95$109.95 — no data Meets NABS Standards: ✓ ✓ ✓ no data no data no data Wireless Camera: no data no data no data no data no data Camera, Solar Panel, 32GB Memory Card, Free App to Take Photos and Record Videos Suitable for: Eastern Bluebirds, Titmice, Chickadees, Nuthatches, and many more Western and Mountain Bluebirds, Tree Swallows, Nuthatches, and many more Eastern Bluebirds, Titmice, Chickadees, Nuthatches, and many more All bird houses and feeders All bird houses and feeders no data Mounting Pole: no data no data Mounting pole with 8" Baffle Mounting pole only Mounting pole with 8" Baffle no data Model: 15" Floor 22" Floor 15" Floor.
