Why Feed Mealworms to Bluebirds?
- Entice them to use a nest box
- Assist the incubating female to find food quickly so she does not have to leave her eggs for long periods of time
- Act as supplementary food for nestings if food becomes scarce when weather conditions prevent the parents from finding insects
- Help them survive during spells of severe winter weather
- Mealworms are an excellent supplement to bird feeding as they provide additional protein to bluebirds' regular diet of 85% insects and 15% seeds
- Mealworms are not really worms at all but are the larval form of the darkling beetle. They are clean, easy to care for; do not carry human diseases and most importantly are a nutritious food supplement readily accepted by bluebirds.
Feeder Placement
Place the feeder in the open - within the bluebird's clear view from one of their favorite perches. Once discovered and the birds are taking the food, you can move it gradually to a more desired location. Do not mount the feeder on an occupied birdhouse, this may attract unwanted birds and critters to the birdhouse - risking problems.
Recommended Feeders:
We believe the Songbird Cedar SC1050 post mount and SE557 post mount or hanging feeders are the best on the market. The SE557 is actually designed as a 3-step training feeder that any bluebird can learn to use.
