Not all birds eat seeds. To attract those that eat fruit and insects (bluebirds, mockingbirds, robins, and even warblers and thrushes) try mealworms, berries or other fruit, and suet. Many seed eating birds like woodpeckers and chickadees also enjoy fruit and bugs, too. (left) Eastern Bluebird - image captured by Louise near her home at High Pointe, 2009. |

![]() Monitor
Feeder by GoodPlanet Designed for Eastern Bluebirds, but appeals to a variety of small birds. 3 main components: a roof, a base, & feeding tray. A mounting pole is also required (see options below). A flat roof is ideal for landing, perching & surveying the scene. The base holds a feeding tray with a polycarbonate plastic insert - ideal for offering meal worms. The smooth, sturdy insert has steep sides to keep live worms inside, and is also great for offering fruit, suet dough, shelled seeds and other treats for bluebirds. The base can be raised and lowered with the simple thumbscrew to adjust the distance between roof and feeding tray - which determines the size of bird that can access the feeder. The "open position" (left) makes food source visible - ideal to attract newcomers or for feeding a variety of birds. When the space is reduced, or "closed" some small birds such as Bluebirds are able to enter but it's too narrow for larger species. Fill the tray with meal worms, berries, & bluebird treats. Mounting plates - for standard 1" diameter tubular pole - are included for roof and tray. Roof: 9¼" x 9¼"; tray: 8½" x 8½" x 2-5/8" #GPBBM $28.95 (related: pole options below; bluebird reference; bluebird nesting boxes) |
