How do you keep sparrows out of a bluebird nest box?
No bluebird nest box is sparrow proof. You can however discourage sparrows from nesting there. Avoid places next boxes close to barns, feedlots, and farmsteads. These provide plenty off cover for sparrows. Sparrows may not like nest boxes made of PVC pipe because the interior is circle. They also dislike slot boxes.
Where do sparrows go during the winter?
We have had sparrows trying to nest in our Purple Martin house. After destroying the nest three times, I allowed them to complete the nest and the destroyed it after they laid eggs. I think they will nest anywhere they can. English Sparrows are horrible, invasive birds that are threatening our native songbird populations. They are especially damaging to bluebirds. They will take over a bluebird nestbox, kill the babies AND the mother and build their own nest right over their corpses. It is VERY important to discourage their nests, destroy and eggs laid and decrease their numbers. In my own yard, we have found only two methods that work. Put up a filament barrier on your bluebird houses. This is the only deterrent we have found that actually keeps them out of the birdhouse. For detailed instructions of how to do this, see the Related Link below.
