House Hunters - Bluebird Style

    HGTV programming such as Flip or Flop, Fixer Upper, Property Brothers, and House Hunters are favorites.Imagination plays a role in these programs - the ability to dream what could be and then let the professionals create it from what exists. Imagination and trust!

    The bluebird, the one bringing happiness all around, must have a great imagination!
    Two bluebird houses are available at our Woodland Heights Drive address. The property offers plenty of curb appeal and no cats.
   

Bluebird Family in glass - various sizes, including babies

      We've watched bluebirds investigate both potential residences and choose the one just right for them. They fly in and out, checking the layout, the size of the kitchen and master suite. Finally, they choose and build their nest inside and raise a family. Teaching a lesson in partnership, the couple takes turns gathering food and babysitting the little worm-grabbers.

Peep out, little mama! She's in there!

   







We have relocated one of our bluebird houses because we'd positioned it under a huge tree and the families had ignored it for two seasons. Bluebirds must know that cats can climb trees and lurk in recessed areas. Even Property Brothers could not convince them of a potential renovation with the tree being the non-negotiable.
     Tips for positioning bluebird houses suggest direction facing away from direct winds, away from predatory danger for the nest. Just as we human counterparts choose the best neighborhoods we can afford, the best schools available, the safest environment possible for our families, so do our feathered friends.
