New Bluebird Feeder

Added a new Bluebird feeder into the bird feeder lineup!

This unit is from Kettle Moraine Woodworking and it is quite sharp.  I started, as they suggested, with one of the clear plastic sides removed in order to allow the birds to more easily acquaint themselves with the feeder.   I did put the full plexiglass side back on, but had to remove it as the birds struggled to enter. I went to a partial side, but soon realized the Starlings were getting in, so went back to the full plexiglass side (with a hole).

I also started with dried worms, and bought a higher quality product compared to what I have used in the past.  Within a day, there was a set of Bluebirds munching away. And then there were a half dozen Bluebirds taking turn.

I started to grow live meal worms….more on that in a later post when I’ve had a chance to determine whether the effort was worth it.
