This Sparrow Resistant Bluebird House, by Coveside, is a Kentucky style, slot entrance bluebird house is designed to thwart sparrows. According to research at the University of Kentucky, bluebirds prefer a slot entrance to the standard circular hole -- sparrows prefer the opposite. In addition, sparrows don't like a shallow box and bluebirds don't seem to mind. This box is only 5" deep but if sparrows still continue to be a problem, a wooden insert is included to reduce the depth even more. Sparrows rarely use the 3-1/2" depth, but bluebirds will still occupy it. Opens up for easy cleaning. Dimensions are 10"h x 6"w x 8-1/2"d. Made in the USA. This hand-crafted product may take up to a week to ship from the time of your order.
