Hi all! Have loved reading all the information on this page. Bluebirds have just started "scoping out" one of my houses in the backyard. Last year I had bluebirds and chickadees in the the birdhouses from March to August, at least 2 broods each. As you guys said, they don't mind proximity to each other. Here's a pick of papa bluebird guarding the homefront last year. My children (twin 5 years old girls and a 6 year old girl) also love keeping track of what's happening in the birdhouses. Haven't had trouble with mocking birds or HOSPs bothering my birdhouse residents, but I do have a mocking bird that will eat all my mealworms before the bluebirds can get to them. Also had a brown thrasher nest in the bushes near the bird houses; they seem to co-exist just fine with the bluebirds and chickadees.
