I have had a blue bird box in the same place for over 5 years. Now this year, we cannot leave either of our cars outside during the day without out the blue birds attacking the mirrors.
Unless some other solution works beforehand the bird box will come down after the nesting season. I like the blue birds but not that much.

I went out and bought a car cover because it seemed they even saw their self in my tinted windows so I had to cover the whole car. Will they stop soon or will they do this until this fall? I can’t uncover my car for 5 mins without them coming and attacking it. When I get home I hae to put everything down and cover it up real fast or they come and attack it. Is this going to happen next year too? My husband is thinking of moving the nest box.
A pair mf Blue birds live in this bird house @ my back door & yesterday the female went missing. Today my wife found 3 blue feathers in the garden, we think the cat did it. The male is still feeding the babys & they sound happy. Now for my question, will they live & learn to fly with out their mother?
I have three baby blue birds the nesting box bleu over. I put them back for 1 1/2 hours. The mother did not come back. So I am taking care of them know. I have been feeding them bloodworms I do not know if that is good. I need a recipe for them. I also do not know what to build a nest out of. If you could help me that would be grate.
Thanks Mackenzie

I have six blue bird boxes at my home in Connecticut. Each winter the boxes are taken over by a families of field mice that I clean out each spring. When I clean them they are pretty disgusting and smell like urine. Since the mice have started adopting the bird houses for their winter homes, I have had very few blue birds or other birds choosing to use the boxes. Does the use by the mice keep the birds away? Any suggestion on how to keep the mice out? Should I prop the boxes open for the winter so they are less attractive to the mice? Thanks
