Setting Up a Bluebird Nesting Box

Have you ever wanted to put up a bluebird nest box on your property but weren’t sure how, where, or when? Successfully attracting nesting bluebirds depends on habitat, timing, nest box design and installation, and simple but important maintenance. That may sound like a lot to think about but it’s not hard. We’ll discuss what you need to do step-by-step.
