This video is perfect for raising the awareness of what would happen if a house sparrow or a pair of house sparrows got in there and started fighting with the bluebirds. If you notice the somewhat limited space in the cavity (it is a nice-looking interior, by the way), you can see how the sparrows would have no trouble holding either one of the blues down on the floor and pecking them to death. I think this video should be seen by all bluebird/tree swallow landlords, just to show them, "This is how much room some nest boxes have inside, just in case a fight erupts between house sparrows and bluebirds/swallows." Thank you for this. I've been a bluebird trail operator for 20+ years and have never seen the inside activity. Well done!

I'm confused by your comment. Are you saying the interior needs to be larger than this one???

@@brianh9807 some have experimented with bluebird two hole mansions with great success. The idea is bluebirds have no problem fighting off sparrows when there is enough space and an exit hole. Bluebirds always win battles outside the box, but inside is hard to fight because of their size disadvantage.

Just set up a couple of bluebird houses and we have many western bluebirds hopping around the ground in search of food. I hope they will start using the boxes to at least get out of the rain and cuddle up on the cold Northern California nights...then in the Spring, more bluebirds!

They're so cute, nice video! The box looks good and I bet the bluebirds love it too! For some reason, this kind of reminded me of when people illegally install cameras inside women's dressing rooms to watch them get changed lol.

You can check out how to build them at the North American Bluebird Society Website. There are many different types of birdhouses you can make, you can also buy them at the store. And if you like you can join Nestwatch and help science learn more about native songbirds by reporting on how your birdhouses are doing. Enjoy!

What a fascinating video! Two questions: 1. How were you able to film this? 2. We've had a lot of rain this Spring and I've checked my bluebird boxes and they are all infested with earwigs. Do you know of a safe way to eliminate them without harming the birds? As of now, my boxes are empty. I think it's because of the infestation. Any help will be greatly appreciated. And again... fabulous video from the bird's perspective!

Hi, what are the gears you use for monitoring inside the nestbox? Thanks

Hi, I wouldn't think earwigs would be a threat to bluebirds but I've never had this problem. recommend you go to bluebirdnutcafe (D0T) c0m and ask there.
