We’ve all heard that the early bird gets the worm, but it’s just as true that a well-placed worm attracts the bird. Bluebirds are widely coveted for their enchanting song and pleasant disposition, but it’s not always easy to entice them to your feeder. It’s a common misconception that sunflower seeds and other dry grains can bring all manner of feathered friends to the neighborhood.
In fact, bluebirds thrive on mealworms. Many birdwatchers choose to purchase their worms online, refilling their feeders as needed. It’s important to note, however, that other species of birds will be all too eager to snap up those mealworms before the bluebirds get a crack at them. Timing is everything, and it takes an especially active and astute enthusiast to keep bluebirds appeased.
