The Kentucky Bluebird Society
was organized to foster the return and perpetuation of the Eastern Bluebird
(Sialia sialis)
and other native
cavity-nesting birds in Kentucky.
To this end, the Kentucky Bluebird Society (KBS) will strive for the
best
methods to use,
conserve and create habitat for
the protection of these
species. Our mission is to increase the population
of bluebirds in
Kentucky
by promoting conservation through education.
We
invite you to join us!
The Kentucky Bluebird Society
is a statewide membership organization and is classified as a non-profit
organization

others in advancing bluebird recovery and will receive up-to-date information

Kentucky Bluebird Cities
The Kentucky Bluebird Society is pleased to announce a new program available to all Kentucky cities. Participation includes no fees. To help your city
qualify as a Kentucky Bluebird City, please consider helping by becoming personally involved. Requirements for City designation include:
- a city must have a minimum of 10 citizens with active, registered KBS-approved bluebird boxes
- participating citizens agree to 'manage' their bluebird box for as long as they participate in the project. KBS membership is not required. However,
KBS welcomes new members to help support KBS and its conservation and education projects.
To register your bluebird box(es) for the "Kentucky Bluebird City" project, please send your name and address to the Kentucky Bluebird Society
either by regular mail (Kentucky Bluebird Society, P. O. Box 3425, Paducah, KY 42002) or email (kbsnews@yahoo.com). When possible, a bluebird
program will be scheduled for the public in your community to answer questions about bluebird box management and to provide help in obtaining a
bluebird box, if needed. Bluebird management basics are available by request.
