Do you know anyone who has raised a bluebird family successfully using this protection? In terms of the babies, how are they handling ?

No, I have not. I attached it to an existing bluebirdhouse that has been used by a pair of bluebirds for six years in a row. do not think the guard will be an issue for the babies when they fly off.

I like it! Worked like a charm! When I put it on the side of the woodpecker house I were using as a brothel, the northern flickers made the whole side and the squirrels stopped using it

Wood that has not been treated I was led to believe it was pine)

3/5

An over-concentration of This is a price for one piece of wood that will be placed over a nest box. The offer was simple and they made no promises. This piece is rougher than I expected, and my expectations lie in a smoother finish. I consider the fact that it has an unfinished surface to be a positive, because it allows one to stain it to match the bird box next. I suggest, aside from that, that a person with no tools could produce something similar for nearly no cost. My sincere thanks,.

A quick and easy way to fix damaged birdhouses

5/5

My bluebird house had its opening chewed open by a squirrel. I was able to restore the hole to its original size and save myself from buying a new birdhouse by installing this. In an effort to prevent it from happening again, I also bought and installed a copper guard on this piece. Easy to install and takes five minutes.

I have noticed that they work very well! Unfortunately, the darned grackles were forcing our little bluebirds away from our meal worm feeder house, until we put these predator guards in place

5/5

Before the grackles devour their meal worms, the bluebirds will be able to harvest their meal worms again!.

A quick fix that works well

5/5

The tattered bird boxes can easily be replaced with these. My guess is that woodpeckers or nuthatches may have made the entrance larger, but no matter. I was able to simply attach these over the damaged area in just So we'll see how long they last after being put in.

Bluebird house guarded by a cedar guard

5/5

It is perfect for my Bluebird House. It measures 1 1/2 inches thick and has a mounting bracket already attached. I had no problem installing the screws after drilling holes. For the Guard to be secured to the cedar house, the screws were the right length.
