Carolina International School

These baby bluebirds are thriving near the CIS gardens.

Quick facts:
1. Bluebirds are primarily insectivores
2. Bluebirds live in cavities left by other animals or in man-made houses
3. Thanks to a massive grassroots effort to set up bluebird houses, like the ones on the CIS campus, their numbers have rebounded significantly. They are a true success story for community-led conservation.
