Free Mealworms from Nature’s Way!
One of the best and most reliable ways to attract bluebirds to your backyard is to set up a mealworm feeder. Unlike many common backyard songbirds, bluebirds are not seed eaters, and therefore have no interest in the standard bird feeders that many bird lovers put up. Bluebirds feed on insects and grubs, as well as small fruits and berries. Putting mealworms out will not only help attract bluebirds to your yard, it will also ensure that nesting bluebirds in your immediate area won’t starve if there is a sudden shortage of food. This is especially important when your bluebird parents are feeding young nestlings.

I have three bluebird boxes on my farm. We had 34 successful fledglings this year! Only one dead baby found in one nest. We have baffles on all three and therefore no predator problems. I am researching growing mealworms to keep them adqueately fed thru the winter.
