Handmade Nesting Box for Eastern Bluebird with sized restrictor plate

5 1/2" x 13" x 5 1/2"

Eastern Bluebirds begin looking for nesting sites in South Carolina in early February. Bluebirds prefer an open area, as they like to sit on the top of the box and look in all directions. Boxes should face the morning sun, and be at least 300 ft apart. Bluebirds will nest 2-3 times during a season, so be sure to clean out the nesting material after fledglings have left the nest. A single screw can be removed from these boxes for easy cleaning.

It is very important to take measures to keep predators away from the nest. Boxes should be mounted on a metal pole so that the entrance hole is 5 ft from the ground.
