 In the United States, there are three different Bluebirds are cavity nesters. The bluebird population has declined by as much as 90% from 1920 – 1970. This decline was due to two things: the loss of nesting habitats, such as tree holes, rooted out fence posts and old orchards; and the introduction of the starling and house sparrow in the last half of the 1800’s. The starling and house sparrow compete aggressively for nesting cavities against the bluebird for nesting habitats.How can you help these beautiful birds?
