Do you supply houses for Western bluebirds? Think their holes are a little bigger.

We carry a few bluebird houses, but they aren't specifically for western bluebirds.

We live in an area inhabited by both western and mountain bluebirds, so I reamed the entrance out to about 1 9/16" with a hole saw, to make sure it would accommodate either. Worked out very well. Great bird house, by the way!

This box and many others that you will see with a 1 1/2" entrance will work fine for western bluebirds. Some suppliers label some boxes as "western" with a 1 9/16" hole and "eastern" with a 1 1/2" hole, but the larger size is actually intended to accommodate mountain bluebirds, which are present in some parts of the west. So, in short, 1 9/16" is sold as the safe size to attract any bluebird in western north America, while 1 1/2" is a fine size for the specific species "western bluebird."

You certainly could but the holes are so large, I think you'd go through seed too fast for my budget. I try to encourage the birds to clean up the ground after themselves but that hasn't always worked.

I've never owned a lovebird but I've seen them in person and I think they are a little to big (wide) to get into the feeder cage.

I've found that I need at least 5 on a large window...spaced randomly, maybe 2 feet apart. Even then, we occasionally get a bird that doesn't see them! So, I guess a good rule of thumb would be the more the better!

I have 7 bird houses in the yard. Four with 1-1/4 holes and they all have house sparrows in them currently. The Woodlink NAWRCH has an 1-1/8 hole as well as one of my own construction and none of them have house sparrows giving them any attention. My home bulit Northern Flicker box has a pair building a nest in ti currently. It has a 2-1/2 hole.

Small chickadees seem to be the best. Openings too small for Cardinals. Grackles and Starlings might try but I have not had any problrms with them over the past winter.

You would have to attach a pole mount to the house.The pole would have to be long enough so to position the house at the appropriate height for Bluebirds, or whatever type bird for which the house is intended.

My husband opened the cover and put two holes in the back and attached it to a tree with screws. But we ended up sending it back because we wanted blue birds to nest in it and kept on getting house finches.

If you are looking to place small birds such as cockatiels, love birds etc maybe even sun conures then I will say yes. Anything larger would have strength to chip coating.

Hi Susanne, Birder for over 50 years. I bought two of these houses for my wrens and chickadees hoping they would nest. The Wrens checked them out seems they do like them. I purposely kind of hid the house so they be protected and not seen by predators. Well to get to your question have not had opportunity to observe their nesting's, darn I love the little guys.

This might be a factor if they were alive but since they are dried it is not a problem. I just shake some into my feeder every evening and the bluebirds are waiting for them.

I would think they could I did have a couple of western scrub jays at mine and they managed but the perches might be a little small there was a lot of flapping to stay balanced

We tried raising mealworms for Bluebirds, and fed ours primarily on carrots, & sweet potatoes. It was going pretty well, but became a challenge to change out the bedding while keeping the eggs and small worms, and I didn't care to take the time to develop a better way. The Bluebirds are fine with freeze dried worms, and so am I. I've actually been tempted to try a dried worm, they don't smell bad, but haven't worked up the courage yet.

I have this. It is a house for blue birds. I think it is as written. I could go measure it.

I was going to stick a small pipe up through the bottom so I could anchor it to the tree. Don't remember if I'd have had to make the bottom opening bigger or not. I had my tree treated and woodpeckers left, so I gave it to a neighbor who was having problems with the cedar on his house.

The one I bought has a hole of about 1 3/8", not quite 1 1/2". It`s a nice little house because the front panel pivots up to remove the old nest. I stained it and just put it out over the weekend, so we`ll see how long it takes for occupancy. I also put on its internal walls a few catalogue cut-outs of flower and country scenes, plus an American flag. Gotta make it homey for future wren residents, right? Hmm...wasn`t Schumann`s 3rd Symphony titled the "Wrenish Symphony"? ; > ))

We have had ours up since April and have had some activity, but not inside the box where it should be. I bird built a nest on the top of the box, kind of funny. He was a larger bird so I am sure they could not get inside the house. Other then that nothing inside, hoping for some activity next spring.
