Two birdhouses for Eastern Bluebirds, one birdhouse for Western and Mountain Bluebirds and three birdhouses for Violet-green and Tree Swallows that are good neighbors with Bluebirds and even provide protection.
Eastern Bluebird Birdhouse
The eastern bluebird nest box has a 4″ by 4″ floor, a 9″ floor to ceiling height, and a 1 1/2″ diameter entrance hole located 7″ above the floor (to top of hole).
Western and Mountain Bluebird Birdhouse
This nest box for both western and mountain bluebirds has a 5″ by 5″ floor, a 12″ floor to ceiling height and a 1 9/16″ diameter entrance hole located 10″ above the floor.
Eastern Bluebirds & Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers
This yellow-bellied sapsucker house is also suitable for eastern bluebirds. See each bird species page for areas where their ranges overlap. For eastern bluebirds mount this house 3′ to 6′ high in partial sun and shade on posts in woodland clearings, grove and shelter belt edges bordering fields, among scattered trees, or pasture fence lines.
Tree & Violet Green Swallow Birdhouse
Bluebirders often place tree swallow birdhouses within groups of bluebird houses because they protect their territory from sparrows, grackles and other intruders, yet are good neighbors to bluebirds. The tree and violet green swallow birdhouse has a 5″ by 5″ floor, an 8″ floor to ceiling height and a 1 1/2″ diameter entrance hole located 6″ above the floor.
Swinging Birdhouse for Tree Swallows
USFWS recommends 1 1/2″ entrance holes for tree swallows. Yet a pair of tree swallows were observed nesting in this swinging birdhouse with a 1 3/8″ entrance hole made for wrens and chickadees. So it is included here as well as the side mounted house. You could adapt this birdhouse with a 1 1/2″ entrance hole.
Side-Mounted Nest Box
You could also adapt this birdhouse with a 1 1/2″ entrance hole for swallows. The volume and 1 3/8″ side entrance hole in this nest box normally accommodates Chickadees, Nuthatches, Titmice, Wrens and Downy Woodpeckers. Visit this nest box page and view or print nest box plans.
