Bluebird Feeders

Not all birds eat shelled seeds.
To attract those that eat fruit and insects (bluebirds, mockingbirds, robins, and even warblers and thrushes) try mealworms, berries or other fruit, seeds without shells (hulled sunflower), and suet. Many seed eating birds like woodpeckers and chickadees also enjoy fruit and bugs, too.

by Droll Yankees - We met Dorothy, widow of the inventor of all things Droll Yankees, Peter Kilham, at the BirdWatch America show in Atlanta as they were introducing this new feeder. Since this feeder was Dorothy's idea, she was asking for feedback as to what to name it. Show attendants dropped name suggestions into a little box, and that's how this feeder came to be known as Dorothy's Cardinal Feeder. We think it is not only a great feeder for cardinals, but also for bluebirds, and others, and it's backed by Droll's awesome lifetime warranty. 15" diameter x 20" tall.  May be hung or pole mounted, and adjustable weather dome keeps out bigger birds (if desired), and inclement weather.   $68.50
mealworm larvae & darkling beetleWhat is a "mealworm" (you ask)?
Mealworms are insects, not really worms. What appears to be a worm is the larval form of the darkling beetle. They make excellent feeders for small mammals, reptiles, and birds. Eager to learn more? Check this site sponsored by Wikipedia, or try searching Google.   We do not have "live" meal worms in-stock at this time.

Mesh Screen Feeders & Socks

niger seeds - when viewed close-up - resemble miniture cucumbersNote: Niger seed ("Guizotia abyssinica"), also called thistle seed, appeals to the colorful songbirds who flock to it as if it were a magnet. It is a tiny oil-rich seed of a thistle-like plant, imported from Africa or India. Niger is not a crop that is grown domestically (US) in significant quantify - though many agri-businesses are testing and studying the potential for a domestic crop someday.

so who is this guy, J.J. Cardinal? click here to find out...J.J.'s Seed Feeder Selection Tips
The type of feeder you select will determine the species and variety of birds you'll attract to your backyard habitat. Birds the size of a blue jay or larger have difficulty dining from perches found on most tube style feeders; so if you desire only small songbirds consider one of the many tube style feeders. Interested in attracting the entire spectrum? Adding a seed tray to the bottom of a tube feeder helps manage debris and provide perching surface for larger birds, who also enjoy hopper and platform style feeders. Still stumped? Our library is filled with great resources, or one of my articles on feeder placement.
