All my bird houses are full of these bandits.

Tree Swallows all over my place.

Thanks for looking.

Did you intend those houses for bluebirds? If so, I think the hole is too big.

(edit) I once found a dead bluebird in my wood stove that I used a s a "try-bird". I bored a 1" hole, and if the dead bird fit, then it was good to go.

I'd hate to see how you measured the hole for your doggy door.

Be happy. Tree swallows eat a ton of bugs.

What did you intend the bird house for? Tree swallows are good birds to have around. They eat tons of insects and are actually quite pretty. AS a bonus, you now have birds in five "houses" that you can photograph to your hearts content.

Yes they are cool birds, and the hole for this type of box does measure out correctly, I was just hoping to get one pair of Bluebirds to nest in one. Actually had one fly out of another box because the swallows chased them out. I'll have to make another a couple houses and put them a bit farther away from the others.

Pixel I agree there will be way more bugs than I'll want to be around.
