Made by a Washington Crafter.
This country bird house is designed and best suited for Bluebirds,
however, we have had Swallows, Wrens and Nuthatch renters.
Bluebird are good neighbors with most other birds and people,
but not other Bluebirds or Starlings, they are fiercely territorial.
You will need to place the next bird house for Bluebirds 300 to 500' apart.

This bluebird bird house has a Country Home appearance, including a front & side porches, handrails, simulated windows and door, cedar shake roofs.
This country home bird house comes plumbed with three drains and three natural air conditioners (vents), one directly across from the bird entrance hole and one on each side under the roof 1/2" wide by 5" long. It is insulated with 7/8" cedar.
Like all our bird houses it has a raised nesting floor to prevent the potential of water seeping in under the house into the nesting area.
By removing three screws on the bottom you can take the bird house off for a complete spring cleaning.
The porches provides shelter in three directions for fatherbird when motherbird is on the nest during one of those rainy days.
