Bluebird House

After researching the

proper dimensions for

bluebird houses, these

were the most consistent I

could find.

Basically they are a 5 ½”

square, an overall height

of 15”. The hole must be 2

1/4” from the top of the

front and 1 ½” diameter.

I added an extension block

and the aluminum plate to

stop squirrels and other

predators from enlarging

the hole and reaching

inside.

I used cedar for the main components and a secondary wood for the mounting plate. The door pivots on a ¼” dowel and is

secured with a couple galvanized nails. Left extended for easy removal. The house must be cleaned out after each nesting

season. I believe the bluebird is one of the most beautiful birds to observe and if you can attract them you will can enjoy

their beauty as well. Happy bird watching!
