Bluebirds of North America
Offer Food - the key here is to think of what Bluebirds want to eat. The answer generally is insects. The best way to start is to offer mealworms on a platform or in a bluebird feeder. We sell mealworms at The Bird Feeder Shop because they are the favorite of Bluebirds and other types of birds, and at 50.4% protein are an excellent nutritional source. You can start feeding mealworms in a cup or pan - but because many birds like them they will eat you out of house and home! Most people graduate to a Blue Bird feeder. A Bluebird feeder is designed so the bluebirds have to go through an entrance to find worms and few birds besides the bluebird will do so. You might spend weeks trying different presentations of worms before bluebirds learn to dine regularly, but the results are worth it, as bluebird's are delightfully trainable even to the point of responding to whistles and other calls when your feeder is refilled.
Provide perches and natural foods. Bluebirds like perches within sight of their home where they can scan the ground for insects. Small trees pruned to create a clear line of sight from the lower branches are ideal or tomato stakes with cross pieces on the top can work.
