  • Patent number: 4928631
    Abstract: This disclosure is concerned with a bluebird house and includes features not only for the bluebird, but also for an observer who might wish to monitor the nesting processing of the bird from beginning to end. The invention includes a viewing window in one of the sidewalls of the house having a hinged shutter which may be opened momentarily to view the nesting operations but also closable to insure the bird's privacy. The house also includes an extended entry-way to prevent most preditors from reaching the nest and a means for helping the newly hatched fledglings to reach the entry-way for their initial flight to freedom. Means are also provided for the quick inspection and cleaning of the nest by removing a portion of one of the sidewalls of the structure without disturbing the nest itself.
