Our bluebirds are still with us seeming to build a nest. Two days ago, the
sparrows were really harassing them. My husband went on line for ideas and
found the idea of scare tape. He rigged up a flexible tube from the center
back of the box, hanging about a foot over the top. We temporarily used
some silver type stuff cut into 4 strips and taped them on. So far it is
working. The sparrows won't go by it, but the bluebirds continue to be an
active presence.
