Simply For The Birds

The primary diet of a Bluebird is insects and fruit.  If you happen to have an American Bittersweet plant in your yard - you are a step ahead to attracting Bluebirds.

Mealworms are an excellent nutritional source of food and many birds love them.  If you are mainly interested in feeding Bluebirds, there are Bluebird feeders designed to specifically feed Bluebirds and keep the others out.  Typically they are designed so that the bird has to go through an entrance hole to get to the worms- Bluebirds will do that, most other birds won’t.

Did you know that you can train Bluebirds?  Try whistling or making some other call when refilling their feeders and see what happens!
