Stokes Bluebird House
Give bluebirds a safe, natural place to raise their young with the Stokes Bluebird House. The specific features of this shelter cater to bluebirds, but may also be enjoyed by chickadees, swallows, and nuthatches. Its 1. 5" diameter entrance allows bluebirds passage into the unit, and a 0. 75" thick, wooden predator guard around it stops woodpeckers from enlarging the opening. A steeply slanted roof overhangs the entry, directing rain away from the nest, and a slot on the floor helps any captured water drain.

Placement Tips
Mount your bluebird house 4 to 6 feet off the ground on a pole or post in an open, grassy area with a few scattered trees nearby. Face the entrance away from prevailing winds, ideally toward a tree or shrub within 100 feet so fledglings have a safe first landing spot. Add a predator guard or pole baffle to keep out raccoons, cats and snakes, and space multiple houses at least 100 yards apart.
