A mating pair of bluebirds has setup shop in my carport

I was actually about to do some painting on that carport. I guess I'll have to put it off until Fall

They're really cool looking so I want them to stay.

I'm wondering if I should feed them or if that would attract too many other birds into their domain

Yep tractor supply has cheap build meal worms.
We have three boxes in our yard and nesting pairs annually now.
Finished the last of seven BB boxes Monday to give away.

Baby birds leave the nest unbelievably quickly….i’ll bet you are done with them in 6 weeks. In the meantime, be on the lookout for snakes in your carport, an snakes have a way of finding bird nests.

Love blue birds. Had two boxes in the yard and the damn squirrels bored out the holes and took over

I love bluebirds. I have built some bluebird houses and put up in the yard. I have a pair or their kids that come back every year. The blue birds are neat. Watch them and you will see the female builds the nest while the male stays there and guards the nest. He will run off any birds or squirrels that gets close as she flies back and forth one stick at a time.

The older I get the more interested I get in birds. I have one of those feeders with a camera and an app on my phone to watch the birds that my daughter gave me for my birthday last year.

Here is the birdhouse plan I built. Found this on youtube a while back. I have built dozens of these for friends and family. Very easy if anyone is interested.

I have had nests 3 years in a row, a clutch of 4 fledged last week, gave a across the street neighbor 2 boxes last year, she has a nest being built in one already,

I live in BR in a older subdivision, I buy live meal worms for them they gorge themselves on em and they come looking for them and they will make 3 nest per season
