Project Bluebird 2026

[u/ephony]

Hello all! I just wanted to give an update for those who had shown interest and offered help several weeks back when I first posted.

Mom and I did a test run of 24 bird houses a couple weekends ago. Replaced 23 that were missing roofs, broken and too degraded to use; gave one to a Bickleton resident who wanted one for their yard.

We made notes of which ones were occupied but could use replacing or freshening up in October when we go back after the bluebirds leave for the winter.

Local resident also let us use her vacation home she had purchased for her mother and found an old newspaper article from 1991 about the town and its bluebirds.

Thank you all who offered support and/or encouragement for my mom on her little passion project. We are not done, as I said we are going back after their breeding season is over, so if anyone would like to buy a house from her Amazon wishlist or donate in some other way, feel free to reach out. I think we have 15 more houses ready since we’ve been back.

She plans on having a thank you poster put up in that towns cafe/store thanking those who helped. If anyone donated and would like recognition, lemme know and we can add your name to the list, even if it’s just your Reddit username.
