Needing a slightly larger chamber
and entrance hole than their eastern counterpart, our Western Bluebird House is
ideal for the vivid Western Bluebird. Mount the Western Bluebird House so the entrance hole is approximately five feet above the ground. If possible, face the house away from prevailing winds and facing towards a tree or shrub which is within 100 feet of the house. Trees and shrubs provide a landing spot for the young bluebirds when they first leave the house. This will keep them off the ground, away from predators. Western Bluebird Houses should be spaced at least 300 yards apart. This Western Bluebird House has been approved by the North American Bluebird Society. |

| Western Bluebirds can be found in the Southwest and all along the West Coast of the United States. This species is generally residential but moves to lower elevations for the winter months. Western Bluebirds breed in open habitats with scattered trees, such as farmland, orchards, and the edges of open coniferous and deciduous forests. Their breeding season can begin anytime from early April to early May. |
