Question
Sparrow's invaded the bluebird house today, cracked the blue eggs and threw them out on the ground. What to do now...I cleaned it out . Do you think the bluebirds will start over in the same house? I have 5 around the property.
I'm sorry. This does happen. Are your 5 boxes at least 100 yards apart or separated by your home or other big barrier? This early in the year they will start over. If you will send your mailing address to walshaw1@cox.net I will send you a free 20 page Bluebird book that will show you what to do about house sparrows, etc. Bluebird Bob.
