Kettle Moraine Eastern Bluebird Recycled Nest Box (Nest Box + Pole Package & Baffle, Blue/Blue)

This Eastern Bluebird house is more than just a simple cavity for a bird to build a nest in. It has been designed to be easy to monitor, easy to clean, and provide a safe nesting site. Approved by the North American Bluebird Society, this bluebird box offers a range of features that make it an excellent choice for birdwatchers and conservationists.

The box itself is constructed from recycled plastic and stainless steel screws, ensuring a durable and long-lasting structure. The flip-down front panel makes it incredibly easy to monitor and clean the nest, while the 1.5-inch entry with a copper portal helps to keep out larger birds that may compete for the nesting site.

Beneath the exit, a grooved fledgling ladder provides the bluebirds with additional traction, making it easier for them to leave the nest. The box also features excellent drainage and ventilation, with holes on the bottom to keep the nest dry and plenty of airflow just under the roofline.

The included pole kit is made of heavy-duty, black powder-coated steel, with a strong, three-piece, 1-inch diameter tubular pole. The Twister Ground Socket twists 20 inches into the ground, providing extra stability and ensuring that the box remains securely in place. The overall height of the pole is 68 inches, and screws are included for easy installation.

To further protect the bluebirds, a squirrel baffle is also included. Constructed from galvanized steel and powder-coated black, the baffle measures 16-3/4 inches long and 6-1/4 inches in diameter. It should be mounted a minimum of 4 feet from the ground to the top of the baffle, and the pole should be placed 8-10 feet away from railings, roofs, or trees.

It's important to note that, per EPA regulations, this product qualifies as a "pesticide device," which does not require registration with the EPA. Additionally, the company makes no claims regarding the effectiveness of the squirrel and predator-mitigating features, as they have not been scientifically tested for efficacy.

In conclusion, this Eastern Bluebird house is a well-designed and versatile nesting box that offers a range of features to ensure the safety and success of bluebirds. With its easy-to-monitor and clean design, as well as its sturdy construction and protective measures, it is an excellent choice for those who want to attract and support these beautiful birds.
