Nesting

After a male Eastern Bluebird attracted a female to his nest site the female does the nest building. She makes the nest by loosely weaving grass and the occasionally some horse hair and turkey feathers. Nest boxes are so common in some areas that in a single area there may be several holes. Females build a nest in each hole, but typically only use on of these. Bluebirds may brood in only one hole.
