Well, we just received our DRST today. (Wow, fast delivery!!! Ordered it on Thursday). Didn’t put it out yet. I have all the food ready to go. So,just when you think you are in control of Mother Nature, SURPRISE!! a Red Tail Hawk or some other kind swooped down and caught something. We were so worried for about two hours until we saw the mother, the father, and one baby and then about half hour ago we saw the second baby, so all bluebirds accounted for.😊
Does anyone have any ideas about what to do with Hawk attacks? I’ll try posting this in another place as well.

Thanks!!

Thank you Stumpy75. It took me 10 min to figure out how to reply to this post. I think/hope you get it back. I actually ordered that VanErt trap yesterday out of desperation but like you said, I’m worried the Bluebirds will be caught. I can sit and just watch to make sure what is in the box. But I don’t know when that will come either..by usps. I guess I will order the DRST and hope it will ship asap. Until then I may put the sparrow spooker up, I know it’s not the correct timing, but have nothing else I can do for the next week or so.

Thanks again for your help!

Hi I’m new here and I don’t even have the time to get acquainted with the page I just have a quick question. This is the first experience I’ve had with bluebirds my husband built the house, the bluebirds moved in in February, had their babies,… all healthy, they fledged about two weeks ago the mom and dad are still coming back to feed on the mealworms. But yesterday I discovered that the HOSP took over the house. Today the bluebirds tried to get back into the house and the House Sparrows stopped them. But just recently I saw the bluebirds going into the house when the Sparrows weren’t there. Like I said I’m new to this and just found out about trapping I want to order one but I need it desperately right this minute I don’t know what else to do, the bluebirds will end up going someplace else if I don’t give them their house back. Sorry to be wordy I guess my most important question is how fast do you think the DRST takes to ship? The site says there is no way to call. It said “if I don’t hear in a week….” that doesn’t sound good. Does anyone know of a faster way to get this trap.
Sorry for all grammar and sp, trying to be fast right now.
Thank you!
Oh, I’m in SC!
