Did you say you were going to make us all one, Renee? I thought for sure I heard you say that.
Where’s all of our laughing emoticons?Tammy
Hi, Carol. Sorry, I was out of town. I’ve heard you are suppose to put the bird in a box to give it some protection and let it calm down. I put a lid on the box. And then go out 30 minutes? later and take the lid off the box. Glad it turned out.

I love Gilwoods. It has a decent sized floor and the bluebirds seem to love them. They seem to gravitate toward them.

Hi Duck, and welcome.
Fred makes boxes. His are really well-made. I know because I have a few! I also bought some online that were really poor quality. We have a private messaging system here. Message him for the details.Tammy
Hi, Donna. A few of us have moved over here. It might have been wise to wait and move after everyone came back for the season instead of doing it at the beginning…but time will tell. I’m glad you are here again. Not having blues is NO excuse. Stay on and tell us about all your wonderful birds. I’ll try to not let my envy show too much.

I’ve never had a Thrasher at my feeder and redpolls and pine siskins are not common for me here! I was hoping you wouldn’t find us over here because I’m always jealous. You know I’m kidding, Donna!! Love your photos. I need to start taking more! These are all in your backyard? I think someone else is feeding MY bluebirds. The NERVE!! They only come every once in awhile. I have a photo to show you later. I’ll try to take it in the morning and post it tomorrow sometime. You will be SO proud of me.

I don’t have mine out. I had put it away for company and never got it out again. I so need to start trapping. With tomorrows snow I’m not sure if it’s worth putting it out tomorrow.

Welcome, Marcel. Nice video Marcel! I have never had 13 bluebirds at once!! The most I’ve had is maybe 6, the siblings and parents from the last nesting. You can try a sparrow spooker on your house. It helps most of the time with discouraging house sparrows. Is your acorn nestbox easy to monitor? (an access door to look in on things?)We just switched forums here so it will take awhile for everyone to find this and even then our numbers are a little low here recently. But usually there’s plenty of activity during nesting season. Something else you might want to have on hand is a Van Ert trap. It’s a trap you put inside a nestbox. When you have a HOSP claiming a box you can trap it with this trap. I’m not sure if it would work with your Acorn box. Is the Acorn Box a decorative box? I’m a little worried about it.

I agree, but sometimes I think what does it matter. They flock in to eat my BOSS! They adjust.
