Bluebird Food – In the wild

Although insects is the bluebirds favourite both seeds smaller berries can be a viable substitute when insects are scarce. The bluebird is highly territorial and will continuously soar over open fields and through forests in search for nice insects to eat. The bluebird generally catches its prey with its small but powerful beak and is agile enough to catch insects in mid-flight, although it is a lot easier to catch bluebird food while on the ground. The bluebird competes with a lot of other species over insects as a food source but is generally quite good fending for itself.

Bluebird Food – In the bird feeder

The bluebird is a magnificent beauty to have come visit in your garden and the simplest way to get them to do that is both to erect bluebird houses together with bird feeding tables. Most bird feeders attract the delightful bluebird and many other birds. In more well sorted stores and warehouses there is specially designed bluebird food to buy but it is also possible to make a bluebird feast by yourself. Many pet stores carry dried insects, such as flies and mealworms, which mixed with a variation of seeds and really juicy raisins makes for a great bluebird meal in any kind of bird feeder.
