Re: [cayugabirds-l] Bluebird in the Backyard

2015-03-25 Thread Carol Keeler
Yes, I've tried the fishing line strategy.  It didn't deter the House Sparrows 
one bit.  I try to keep taking out the House Sparrow nests, but that doesn't 
slow them down much.  If anyone has a solution to the House Sparrow vs. 
Bluebird nest box problem, I'd like to hear about it, too.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Bluebird in the Backyard

2015-03-25 Thread Rustici, Marc
Good Morning,

 

I also have the same issue.  I thought I had seen where someone had suggested 
putting fishing line on the boxes  a certain distance (don’t know specifics) 
wide and from the entrance and perch that detracted the sparrows because they 
did not fold their wings as much as a bluebird thus limiting the box to be used 
by bluebirds.  I am hoping the collective wisdom of the group may have some 
specifics on this that could be shared.

 

THANKS
