Bluebird Renovations
.
While we were away, the re-design crew arrived and made the new place more Bluebirdy.
We are so alike!

    Um...no, it wasn't bluebirds who gnawed at the hole but something trying to get them--a squirrel, raccoon, or a woodpecker.

    Our bluebird house suffered the same damage. It was done by house sparrows and startlings who wanted a bigger hole so they could use the house.

  5. Has anyone tried "ringing " the tree lower down with a wide band (wide as in 12 -18 inches wide) of shiny, slippery tin/aluminium so that pests can't climb up - that's what's done here in New Zealand to stop the possums climbing lamp posts an chewing the wires... might protect your pretty feathered friends.

    But what would I know - we have Tuis and Bellbirds and suchlike, but not beautiful bluebirds!

  9. I didn't notice this until today, but if you look closely you can see a bird in the box on the left, and it doesn't look like a bluebird. But I don't know what female bluebirds look like. The bluebirds are lovely, though.

  10. P.S. At least I think it is a bird! Maybe it's just my eyes!

  11. How long did it take for you to get that picture? I never can get a good one before they fly off!
