This Morning Outside

The unseasonably cold, wet spring took its toll on our bluebirds. I don't think any of the early nestings succeeded.

But now success is in the air. This pair has honored the nest box in our front yard. And I happen to know that inside five baby bluebirds are clamoring to be fed. The parents diligently bring food.

And they never leave the birdhouse unguarded. They watch it constantly.

Mealworms are
Bluebirds' Favorite

Entice bluebirds to come up close. Offer them live mealworms.

Price

Bluebirds love mealworms. And they especially love to feed mealworms to their babies.

You can order mealworms and then keep them in your refrigerator for weeks or months. Offer a few each day to your bluebirds.

It's an amazing way to make friends with bluebirds.

Mealworms Feeder for Bluebirds

Put a few mealworms in the mealworm feeder each day, and your bluebirds will quickly learn this is their own feeder.

Price

It will outlast wood. It's made of recycled plastic, so it helps the environment, too.
