Give Bluebirds Even More Room to Thrive:  The Amish Poly Post Mount Bluebird House (Larger Size)

Eastern Bluebirds will call your backyard home with our Bluebird House. This Amish-crafted Poly Bluebird House has a larger size and combines durable, eco-friendly materials with thoughtful design features to provide a superior haven for these cherished native birds, most importantly by being sparrow resistant.

Enhanced Space for Growing Families

This larger version of our beloved poly bluebird house offers a more generous interior cavity, providing ample space for nesting bluebird pairs and their growing broods. The added room ensures nestlings have a less cramped, more comfortable environment as they develop, potentially supporting healthier growth and even accommodating slightly larger clutches.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How long will bluebirds nest in their new bluebird house? Bluebirds typically incubate their eggs for about 2 weeks. Once the baby chicks hatch, they remain in the home for about 21 days before leaving the nest.
• Do baby birds stay with their parents once they can fly? After fledging, young bluebirds will stay with their parents for an additional 2-4 weeks, learning foraging skills and independence before fully dispersing.
• What do bluebirds eat? Bluebirds are primarily insectivores, especially during breeding season. They feast on a variety of insects like grasshoppers, crickets, beetles, caterpillars, and spiders. In fall and winter, their diet shifts to wild berries and fruits such as sumac, dogwood, and juniper. You can supplement their diet with mealworms offered in a specialized bluebird feeder for mealworms.
• Is it good to put a bluebird feeder by a nesting box? It is not recommended to place a bluebird feeder directly next to a bluebird house. While bluebirds do eat mealworms, placing a feeder too close can attract predators or other aggressive birds (like starlings or even sparrows, despite your house's resistance) to the immediate nesting area. This can cause stress or danger to the nesting pair and their young. It's best to place feeders at least 20-30 feet away, and ideally in a separate, open area of your yard. Here is our most popular bluebird feeders for mealworms if you have a large yard.
