Bluebird nests are a wonderful way to watch nature in action. Observing the nest can help us understand how and why a bird builds the perfect nest for their young.A bluebird nest should be left alone for the most part. Unless there is an issue with predators or pests, unnecessary handling of the eggs or babies should be avoided. This is important to ensure that the bluebirds do not fledge too soon.The incubation period of the eggs falls to the female bluebird and she takes frequent breaks throughout the day to feed herself. Incubation starts when the first egg is laid and continues until all of the eggs hatch. It is thought that the male bluebird aides in this task and many people have reported seeing them enter the box during incubation.Once the eggs have hatched the parents will take turns feeding their chicks. Often older fledglings from a previous nest will assist in feeding the new chicks as well. Feeding can be a time consuming job and requires the undivided attention of both parents. The young will be fed soft-bodied insects at first. As they grow larger harder bodied insect prey is added to the diet.Bluebirds can build their nests in a variety of habitats, but they are attracted to sites that provide stable food sources and a good environment for raising their young. They are common in pastures and agricultural land, fruit orchards and suburban parks and gardens. The natural landscapes they favor are rugged and wild, but they have adapted well to human modified environments as well. https://nestvui.com/1-lang-yen-bao-nhieu-tien/ can even be found in rotted fence posts, orchard trees and backyards.In a wild landscape, Bluebirds prefer open grassy areas where they can hunt for beetles and grasshoppers. They also like wooded areas with low brush and plenty of places to perch. To support this species and other wildlife neighbors provide natural habitats on your property by planting native grasses, shrubs and trees. These plants will reduce your heating costs, lower your water bill and create a natural food source for wildlife.You can encourage more bluebirds to visit your property by offering a supply of worms in a feeder or birdbath. If you offer worms regularly bluebirds will become accustomed to your presence and learn to associate you with the treat. Some people like to make a noise when they offer the worms so that the birds will begin to key in on the sound. After three or four sessions of successfully feeding bluebirds they will start to anticipate your visits and will be ready to receive the worms when you present them. This will increase the number of times they visit your property and may even lead to them nesting on your land. A good rule of thumb is to offer a small handful of worms every 20 minutes throughout the day. Do not overfeed the birds or they will be too full and may not return to your site.
