OUR MISSION.

To spread "Bluebirds (and other native cavity-nesting birds) Across Texas ... one nestbox at a time" - through education; and, the installation of "NestWatch'd" nestboxes in appropriate habitat; and, sustaining and increasing their natural food supply (insects and berries of native plants) - while enjoying the process and the bluebirds.

WHO WE ARE

The Texas Bluebird Society is an all-volunteer grassroots organization helping bluebirds and other cavity-nesting birds through increasing nesting sites while sustaining and increasing their food supply (insects; berries of native plants).

The Texas Bluebird Society was founded in 2001 by avid bluebirders from across the state who joined together to pool their passion for and knowledge of these beautiful birds.

By joining together we are able to:

share Texas-specific experiences
encourage habitat creation
support research
educate the public with regard to bluebirds and other native cavity-nesting birds

Bluebirding is not a competitive sport but a cooperative one. We are taking the DREAM "Bluebirds Across Texas . . . one nestbox at a time" and making it real! We are educating tens of thousands about changing habitat and the need for well-ventilated nestboxes that are appropriate for Texas conditions.

What We Do:

Educate: We conduct presentations, collaborate with schools, and distribute educational materials.
Research: Members participate in scientific studies, reporting nestbox data to NestWatch.org.
Collaborate: From building nestboxes to staffing events, volunteers across Texas share their passion and knowledge

How You Can Help:

Volunteers are vital to our success! Whether you build nestboxes, staff festival booths, or share information with your community, there’s a place for you. Texans with nestboxes are also encouraged to contribute to NestWatch, regardless of membership.

By joining the Texas Bluebird Society, you can help bring the dream of “Bluebirds Across Texas . . . one nestbox at a time” to life—while experiencing the peace, joy, and hope these birds inspire.

By encouraging the planting of native trees and plants, we are helping to create diverse habitats that attract insects and provide berries for wintering bluebirds. This all helps to reduce habitat fragmentation and increase biodiversity.

Our members range from those who have the hope of one day seeing a bluebird or attracting a bluebird to a nestbox, to those who have been helping the bluebirds (and other native cavity-nesting birds) in one yard or dozens of yards or even thousands of yards all across Texas.
