Guarding territory is a Bluebird trait during breeding season. NOTE: At the house opening, a "real" conservation lady placed some wet wipes into the hole to keep a sparrow out. We felt bad for the bluebird wanting to use this box, and eventually pulled the wipes out ourselves, when the sparrow was gone.
