Autumn is a good season to check bluebird nestboxes and prepare for next spring’s breeding season. Clean out last year’s nesting material. Rub soap on inside roof to discourage a wasp from building a nest there. Be sure entrance hole is still 1 ½ diameter. Perform needed maintenance.
Find out more about these beautiful birds at a library presentation on Nov. 19 at 1 p.m. at the Dublin Public Library.
Official Texas Bluebird Society (TBS) nestboxes will also be available. These bluebird nestboxes are designed to meet the demands of the Texas environment and will last for many years.
Help our native cavitynesting birds by installing a bluebird nestbox on your property. Nest boxes cost $30, or $20 with a TBS membership. Plenty of information about bluebirds can be found at: TexasBluebirdSociety.org.
