Hi,
Can anyone tell me if Bluebirds will nest or mind having a house 9 feet hi on a pole?
Thanks
Dale
Inside? That doesn’t make any sense. The paint is to reflect the heat from the sun. This is why I drive a white truck in Louisiana LOL.
Dale

Thanks for the reply. I have the Bluebird box on another pole 5 foot high and about 12 foot away from the martin pole.

I have a bluebird box about 10’and 5′ below my martin house. I hope they can get along ok if not I will have to move the BB Box to another location closer to the tree line.
Thanks
Dale
How do you call them? whistle or other method?
I Feed our BB meal worms and it would be nice to have them nearby when I come out with the worms.
Dale
Can you put a BB box as close as 10 foot from a martin house?

Hi guys,
It’s all about location! location! location! I move the trap to a new location and trapped 4 house sparrows, 2 Brown Thrashers and 1 Northern Cardinal. Of course I let the Thrashers and the Cardinals go and keep the Sparrows for decoys.
Thanks again for all the help it paid off. Just a simple thing as location.

I have tried just about everything you have mentioned I guess the Southern
bird down here are a little different. The only thing I have caught in the
DRST are Chipping Sparrows, Doves, Brown Thrashers and a tufted titmouse
and one House Sparrow. I can’t even get my Bluebirds to eat live mealworms
on my feeder. I guess natural food is way too abundant around my home. I
have placed live mealworms in dishes right at their feet and they don’t
even pay any attention to them. I have caught two male House Sparrows in
my nest box trap that’s how I trapped the only female in the DRST. The
trap functions quite well. I think I will try a number of different
locations to see if that works better.I will let you know how that works.
Thank you for all your help.

Thanks Tammy. I will give a try. Down here in Louisiana I can’t even get the Bluebirds to eat live mealworms. I’ve tried everything I have read in the forum and still no luck but I will not give up we have 2 families of Blues living in my yard. I may have to wait for Fall for that also.
Thanks,
Dale

Hi everyone,
I just got my DRST out but not having any luck. Is there to much easy food around for them this time of the year down here in southern Louisiana? I have see way more Starlings than HoSps around here. I’ve tried it on the driveway and set it up 3 foot off the ground with no luck. I’ve tried bread and cheap bird feed from walmart. The doves love it.what is a good bait for starlings? I would like to thin them out also.
Thanks,
Dale
