> Pro tip from Papa Elf:
*Bluebirds - hence their names - are attracted to the color blue. The best way to attract them, however, is not to paint your birdhouse blue, especially in the SE United States where the darker hues will attract the sun and overheat the nest. Instead, you can install a blue mealworm feeding station or a porcelain, blue-hued birdbath.*
