The BB1’s 1-1\/2\" entrance, 5\" x 5\" floor and 6\" mounting height above the floor mirror the dimensions that bluebirds prefer, while integrated ventilation and drainage help keep nests dry and comfortable.

The 1-1\/2\" (1.5\") hole deters larger competitors while remaining inviting for bluebirds.

Avoid placing it close to dense shrubs or thick branches that provide cover for predators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMount on pole\/post in open habitat with nearby perches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEntrance recommended 4–6 feet above ground, adjustable to local needs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKeep clear of dense shrubbery and predator cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFully assembled box simplifies installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for?
