Default Bluebirds

Have the Bluebirds (the ones that fly) started to migrate yet. We set up a bluebird house early February and no luck attracting the feathered friends.

Is anyone having any luck??

We've had a male & female bluebird here for the past few weeks. We have a small bird bath that they drink from & they love the little black berries on the palm trees. A few years ago we had a huge flock of bluebirds, but so far this year we've only seen the pair.

I watched one attack himself in the mirror of every vehicle in a parking lot. Poor thing.

No bluebirds, but have a couple of destructive Thrush I would like to rehome.

Lots of bluebirds in our area of Gilchrist. We have bluebird houses in the back yard and so do some of our neighbors. Saw two jumping in and out of the houses yesterday morning.

We have had some bluebirds inspecting the bluebird house I put out last week, but no takers yet. There are other bluebird houses in the area so they may be nesting elsewhere.

For a few seconds I was back in my childhood, remembering how much I loved my Bluebird uniform, esp the cap. Didn't much like the Brownie or Girl Scout colors.

I have a pair of blue jays, not bluebirds. Very different.
