Mealworm Bird Feeder Plans

Place your mealworm feeder in a location where bluebirds have been observed. Once bluebirds have discovered your mealworms, you will be able to move the feeder to your desired position by moving the feeder every day or so closer to your final feeding area. Many years of backyard observations show that bluebirds are more attracted to stationary mealworm feeders, opposed to hanging mealworm feeders. In addition to bluebirds preferring stationary feeders, the tendency for birds to perch above hanging feeders makes for a very unsanitary situation. Ideal places to place a mealworm feeder is on top of a wooden handrail, or a picnic table or fence post. In addition to bluebirds, American Robins, Blackbirds, Blue Jays, Brown Creepers, Brown Thrashers, Cardinals, Carolina Wrens, Catbirds, Chickadees, Chipping Sparrows, Downy Woodpeckers, Field Sparrows, Finches, Grackles, Grosbeaks, Hairy Woodpeckers, Indigo Buntings, Juncos, Kinglets, Mockingbirds, Nuthatches, Orioles, Red-bellied Woodpeckers, Rufus-sided Towhees, Song Sparrows, Tanagers, Vireos, Warblers and many other birds will come to your mealworm bird feeder.
