Most birds are territorial only against birds of their own species -
twenty territories can occupy the same space if the owners are of 20
different species.  

So if you have feeders hung within 10 or 15 feet of the bluebird house,
you might move them a little further away, but if they're just in the same
yard, that shouldn't be a problem.  (And if it were, the bluebirds
probably wouldn't have started nesting there in the first place.)
