Bluebird Feeders – Page 5 – Unique Birdhouse Boutique

In my yard I have three bluebird houses, that were for the longest time, vacant. They are pole mounted and all have squirrel baffles below the house for protection from predators. The bluebirds use and enjoy the multiple birdbaths around the yard, but I think the reason they decided to finally take up residence is….the meal worms!

Back in early spring I put up a new bluebird feeder and tried a few types of food. Nothing seemed to work, and I was really bummed at having spent good money on a recycled bluebird feeder, a new pole and yet another baffle. (The squirrels are just ridiculous in my yard-even though they have plent to eat too!)

Then I found a company where bulk mealworms could be purchased, so an order for 10,000 mealworms was placed with overnight delivery. That’s all it took! The bluebirds wait for me each morning to put their worms in the feeder, and the action starts. It’s great to watch them, and the effort has paid off because there are nests in all three bluebird houses.

Is it any wonder that all my critters (inside and outside) eat better than me?

Recycled Bluebird House — Recycled Bluebird Feeder

Seeing this seasons’ first bluebirds in my yard, it was the perfect reason to put up a new bluebird feeder. This year I opted for one of the recycled models by Birds Choice. It cost a few dollars more than a wooden feeder but the investment was well worth it! This blue bird feeder not only has openings on either end, but two more additional openings on each side of the plexy panels. A total of six openings…a unique feature for these types of feeders, it allows easier access and escape from from predators.

At first glance, and by the weight, I could tell the quality was of very high standards. Then, the label stating that “this bluebird feeder kept 33 plastic containers out of landfills” just makes one think how easily they created a positive reaction for the environment. I know this blue bird feeder will last a very long time, as Birds Choice guarantees their recycled products never to crack, split or fade. Can’t wait to see the bluebirds start using it!

Oh yea, here’s my bluebird feeder, complete with a new baffle for extra protection.

Both Bluebird Houses are Finally Occupied!
