"Most birds prefer houses of unpainted wood that blend with their surroundings. Highly painted, whimsical or decorative houses tend to attract unwanted visitors."
"You also want a box specifically built for bluebirds. The entrance hole needs to be correctly sized, big enough for birds to easily enter and exit, but not large enough to let in predators."
"Bluebirds like to nest in open spaces, where they have room to swoop around and snatch insects out of the air. Placing the birdhouse so it faces your house or another structure can be off-putting to the bluebird."
"The birds like a clean house, but it's best to avoid chemicals and harsh cleaners. A light dusting of food-grade diatomaceous earth can help take care of pests."
