Blue birds can not make their own house. During the time of brooding they pick up the holes as nest that are generally drilled by wood peckers or any natural cavity inside the tree trunk or the branches. But while selecting their nest they are very finicky about the plan or design of the holes. They are often the victims of predators or birds like house sparrow or starlings that either kill or drive them out to occupy the blue bird houses.
