I was told that hanging a few fishing lines over the bluebird nesting box entry would deter sparrows, but the bluebirds aren’t affected. Does anyone know if this works? What a joy if it does work!
My nest boxes have never had house sparrow problems. They are definitely in the adjacent town but not in my rural area. So no experience with them.
I have read some reports of the use of fishing lines and they seem to work after nesting and laying has started. I can’t say if that technique will work before a pair adopt your nest box. This is a great question and I’m going to follow the replies with interest.
Look into mylar ribbons as well. Some success has been reported.
