Mealworms in a WBUDinner Bell Feeder

Bird baths fordrinking & bathing

Protection from predators and proximity to foodand water are a bird’s primary considerationwhen choosing a nesting site. If bluebirdschoose to nest in your yard, you can observethem as they build nests, lay eggs and feedtheir young. And when it’s time for the fledglingsto leave the nest, they’ll likely learn to feed atyour feeders and bathe in your bird baths.

Open Water Offering water to drink and bathe is attractive tobluebirds; moving or dripping water is evenmore attractive. Keep the water fresh andwatch them come in regularly to bathe anddrink.

Serve the MealBluebirds primarily eat insects when availableand supplement this main diet of insects withvarious fruits and berries. Some of the moreenticing feeder foods readily eaten by bluebirdsinclude mealworms, Peanut Butter&Jelly suetand Birdacious® Bark Butter® Bits.

Bluebirds will gobble up as many mealworms asyou offer; especially when the young are beingfed. Put some out in the morning and some inthe evening and watch your bluebirds becomeregular visitors.

Birdacious treats like Bugberry Bark Butter andBark Butter Bits are excellent alternative foodsfor a bluebird as they transition from theirwinter diet to their summer insect diet.

Open House x2Bluebirds are secondary cavity nesters, usingpre-existing cavities. They don’t excavate theirown. They readily use a well-placed nest boxdesigned for them, preferring open areas suchas fence rows.

Sometimes other birds will use a bluebird nestbox, such as swallows. If this happens, you caninstall a second box. The bluebirds will use oneand the other bird species will use the other.For best results, try placing the two boxeswithin 20 feet of each other.

If you are reading this flyer, then it’s apretty good bet that you are already aperson who loves birds and nature. Andthe odds are that your excitement fornature was first awakened by anexperience during your childhood.

For many, it was discovering and watchinga nesting bird in the yard. There is magicin first seeing an egg hatch, watching amother tirelessly feeding her young andwitnessing brave chicks leaving their nestfor the first time. It all makes for powerfulimpressions on young minds…impressionsthat will never be forgotten.

March is a great month to make some newimpressions by sharing your love of naturewith young children while also helping thenext generation of birds.

Nest boxes are a great place to start.Properly designed boxes, placed in theappropriate habitat can truly benefit thebirds and also provide a focal point forchildren to learn about nature. They canhelp install the boxes and then monitor allof the nesting activity throughout theseason.

It’s Time to Share If the birds cooperate and do nest in youryard, then the fun has just begun!

Nothing is more compelling for young orold alike than watching a mother bird feedher young. Whether it’s seeing them in thenest begging mom for mealworms orwatching her bring the youngsters to yourfeeders for the first time…it is sure toinstill a sense of wonder and excitementevery time.

Visit us soon. We’ll make sure you have allof the proper housing and foods to enableyou to inspire the next generation to lovenature, while helping the nesting birds inyour yard to thrive and survive.
