Save a species by building a bluebirds house ...
A bluebirds house is worth buying or building especially if you are an ecologically concerned individual. Due to a population explosion of starlings, millions of bluebirds are lacking a nesting place. European sparrows also interrupt bluebirds nesting by taking over their natural and man-made habitats and shelters. When erecting or placing a bluebirds house, your priority is to keep the bird safe. A bluebirds house is considered to be the safest from predators if it is not located in an area that is popular with starlings or sparrows. You are also more likely to find bluebirds nesting in houses that are in open or rural country with scattered trees and sparse ground cover. you should avoid placing your bluebirds house in heavy forests, as this is the habitat of the wren. Wrens are also known for kicking bluebirds out of their single cavity homes.
