Keep Your Bluebirds Safe From Predators

When creating housing for your favorite birds, you have to be very cognizant of giving them a space to live that is safe from their enemies. Predators would like nothing better than to make a meal of delicious blue bird eggs.

To prevent this, you have to take a few precautions with blue bird houses to protect them as much as possible. Location wise, it’s best to put blue bird houses in an open field away from tress. You don’t want to make it accessible to cats, squirrels, raccoons, snakes, and other predators.

To that end, place blue bird houses atop a 6 to 8 inch stove pipe with a predator wobbling baffle or guard on it. The wobbling baffle will guard the bird house by preventing predators from getting a firm foot hold on the bird house pole. Make sure that the wobbling baffle has mesh inside the baffle to keep snakes at bay as well.
