We have several different Bluebird houses, and the one that they choose most commonly is this Peterson style house.

They’ve also built nests in this one every now and again.

This one is pretty similar to the third one that they’ve used sometimes.

We also have one on a post that we bought from Wilds Birds Unlimited, but the House Sparrows fight for that one, so the bluebirds never choose it. I keep it regularly cleaned out so the sparrows never lay eggs in it.

In areas where dead trees and woodpecker holes are hard to find, bluebirds will readily move into manmade nest boxes to raise their young.

I cut standing dead trees for firewood but I don't cut them down if they have any holes that could be used by a critter for housing. That includes woodpecker holes as we have plenty of them around here. Nothing cool has moved into any of them yet though.
