Bluebird homes are not houses made out of concrete or bricks. They are in fact temporary buildings which enable a female bluebird to rear her young in relative safety in an area separate from their nest. To confuse things even more, adult bluebirds also lay clutches of eggs called kites, but these eggs remain hidden until the new chicks hatch. Hens rarely leave their nesting area during daylight, so the only time a hen would come out of her shelter is to feed the young.

 

There are many different types of bluebird houses for sale and it can be confusing as to what you need. The two most popular species are the House Wren and the Black-Crowned Spider-Webbed Wren. Both species produce good quality eggs and both have homes that are easy to care for. The House Wren has a cavity under her rear end that is full of sand. This provides plenty of shelter from predators, even if the weather is inclement.

 

The black-crowned spider-webbed wren has a cavity just below its tail. This cavity also contains a food and water dish, which is a bonus because the wren eats insects for protein. The best bluebird houses for sale are those that fit both species of the species that you are looking for. If your birds prefer to eat grasses and dandelions rather than bugs, then a box design with holes at the bottom is ideal. If you prefer to see and hear the wild creatures you see and hear when you travel west to east, then a design with a slot entrance is necessary.

 

Slot entries are a great way to provide open spaces where bluebirds can shelter and breed, but they also have another advantage as well. In addition to providing shelter from predators, a slot entry will also allow you to view bluebirds in their natural habitat. You can see the different species of the birds that call your backyard home when you have access to these homes.

 

Wild house sparrows prefer to nest in large branches, so if you can find a branch or tree that is over fifteen feet in height, you will be able to accommodate them. Another consideration for the placement of your house sparrows is that it should not be located near other animals or structures. These could include cattle, horses, and people. These larger animals will knock down your birds or eat them before they have a chance to nest. Also, avoid housing wild house sparrows near structures such as fences, sheds, garages, or any other buildings that could potentially catch wind and cause damage to your home. 

 

The last consideration for the placement of your houses is the species of the birds you want to attract. There are several species of both the birds and the homes on this homepage that you can purchase that will fit most needs. Some of the more popular species of house sparrows are: blue birds, house sparrows, purple martins, and european starlings. You can buy these species of birds in mixes or select one and set up your own private feeding area or nesting area. Find out more details in relation to this topic here: https://www.encyclopedia.com/plants-and-animals/zoology-and-veterinary-medicine/zoology-general/nest.
