bluebirds

Small cerulean thrushes

Bluebirds are small North American songbirds in the thrush family, prized for their bright blue plumage and melodious songs.

The three species—eastern, western, and mountain bluebirds—are symbols of happiness and good fortune in American folklore, giving rise to phrases like the bluebird of happiness.

Bluebirds nest in cavities and have benefited from conservation efforts using nest boxes.

We installed bluebird houses along the fence line.
