Instructions
To Install a Birdhouse:
Bluebirds like wide open spaces at least 100 feet away from bushy or wooded areas, in both suburban and rural locations. In a meadow, field or mowed lawn, dig a hole that is one foot deep and one foot wide.
Mix concrete in your wheelbarrow according to the package instructions. Insert the pole and pour the mixed concrete around it. Allow the concrete to set overnight until it is completely dry.
Attach the bluebird house to the fencepost using long screws or nails, ensuring the home is securely connected. Bluebird houses should be no more than eight feet above the ground, and no lower than five feet above the ground. The entrance to the house should face north to northeast to avoid the sun and rain, creating the perfect home for these beautiful birds.
