We have launched a new website !
Boxes4bluebirs.com was launched this month. We have been involved in bluebird monitoring for the past 10 years, making our own bluebird nest boxes, and we recently decided to bring our bluebird nest boxes to market.
We have worked hard over the last few weeks to get Boxes4bluebirds.com up and running, and we are eagerly looking forward to working on, and expanding, this new division to our company, which we have named Backroads Bluebird Boxes !
Bluebird conservation is a great example of a "multiple-benefit" activity. It requires active monitoring of bluebird nest boxes on the part of thousands of people across North America. This makes bluebird monitoring an excellent hands-on way to teach people, young and old alike, about wildlife conservation!
The delightful bluebird is a symbol and icon of North America, and his presence can be found in classic American literature from the poems of Robert Frost to the writings of Henry David Thoreau. His presence brings happiness, hope, and the good tidings of the coming of Spring and Summer.
Bluebird populations fell dramatically in the mid-20th century, but thanks to the efforts of thousands of citizen conservationists, the bluebirds are again thriving. The continued success of the bluebird, however, will always be dependent on human conservation efforts. The causes of their decline are not likely to be reversed, and only through continued active conservation can the bluebird continue to thrive.
If you are interested in getting involved in bluebird monitoring, now is the time! Please visit Boxes4bluebirds.com for more information. We have also produced a 37-page pocket field guide written for the beginning bluebird monitor. This is a professionally written and printed booklet that we sell for just $4.95 with free shipping. If you purchase a nest box, you can choose to add the pocket guide with it for just an additional $3.00.
For every bluebird nest box we sell, we will donate a portion of our revenue to the North American Bluebird Society (NABS).
