Protect your nesting bluebirds from competing species

Watch your bluebirds fledge this year. Aggressive House Wrens won’t enter a nesting box when they can’t see the entry hole. The Wren Shield is made from solid blue recycled plastic to block the view of the entrance from House Wrens. The Wren Shield is easy to use: Unscrew the roof to see when the first or second egg has been laid, then hang the Wren Shield in front of the entrance. Bluebirds can easily enter and exit the nestbox and may continue to lay eggs. Once the hatchlings are between 4 and 7 days old, position the Wren Shield in the upright position so as not to interfere with fledging. Durable tan and blue recycled plastic with built-in ventilation and drainage. 5-3/8 x 9-3/4 x 11-3/8 inches tall.

  • 1-1/2 inch entry hole with inner predator guard
  • Enjoy watching all of your bluebirds fledge this year
  • Features easy to use Wren Shield to keep out House Wrens
  • Now includes lower eye hook for easy cleanout
  • Made in the USA, available exclusively at Duncraft

Bluebirds are nesting!!
Last year a pair of bluebirds nested in one my bluebirds houses but in order to protect them from sparrows I had to come with several deterring ideas. They had five babies in fall and I was worried throughout their nesting period but this year they chosen this house and I am hopeful the not so visible entrance will deter sparrows from trying to go in and will keep the mom and babies safe.

Bluebird Flap Excludes House Wrens
After two disappointing seasons with Bluebird eggs either on the ground outside the box, or with holes pecked in the eggs inside the box, or with the nest material partially pulled out of the hole, I stumbled onto this elegant solution. House Wrens which compete with Bluebirds for nesting sites (Carolina Wrens are not a problem) will not enter into a Bluebird box if the entry hole cannot be seen, which is the purpose of the temporary flap. End of story, no more problems. This Spring and Summer we had two successful broods from the same mating pair of Bluebirds, four babies the first clutch and three the second.
