    As always, great information on how to keep helping our native cavity-nesting songbirds here in America and protect them from these invasive species! Thank you!
    A pair of Bluebirds showed up two days ago at my house, checking out their nesting box! It's always exciting, and at the same time nerve wracking, the anticipation of a successful nesting season, and the fear of House Sparrows and Starlings hurting the Bluebirds and their babies. This is when our diligence really matters! Still waiting for my husband to make that Starling trap just in case! Have a great day! 😀

    I recently just ordered the deluxe repeating sparrow trap .. I have a bluebird house in my backyard recently I’ve noticed most of what is in my backyard or house sparrows so far they haven’t messed with the blue birds, but I am so nervous .. binge watching all the videos. Thanks for the wonderful information.!

    We don't have to interfere with nature, all birds are useful, both the species we like and those we don't like. Rather protect smaller birds with SUITABLE nest boxes.

      It has nothing to do with liking one birds better than another. It's about controlling non native invasive species.

      @BackyardBirdsUS  Рік тому +7

      No one is torturing the sparrows. But the sparrows will peck the head open on their competition. How do you suggest keeping house sparrows out of bluebird boxes when the bluebird is bigger than the sparrow? It's all about keeping them from destroying our native birds.

    • @BackyardBirdsUS

      They actually attack larger birds. And smaller. They are super aggressive. And they are not protected. Tons of people control them thankfully.
