Bluebirds prefer open platform or tray feeders that are pole-mounted or hung. These versatile feeders allow you to offer a variety of foods like mealworms, suet, fruit, and seeds
Mealworm Feeders Mealworms are one of bluebirds' favorite foods, especially live ones which are more nutritious.
Mealworm feeders mimic the satisfaction of finding food on the ground and are very effective at attracting bluebirds. You can use live or dried mealworms in a shallow dish or platform feeder placed near a nest box.
Suet Feeders Suet, a hard fat product, is loaded with calories that help sustain birds through the winter.
Bluebirds will readily eat suet, especially in the colder months when insects are scarce. Offer suet in a wire mesh or plastic suet feeder.
Fruit Feeders Bluebirds enjoy a variety of fruits, especially during the cooler months. Offer fresh fruits like orange slices, apple chunks, grapes, and berries in a simple fruit feeder or platform feeder
Fruit feeders are particularly popular during spring nesting season when bluebirds need extra energy.
