Know before you buy
The feeder uses a specialized vinyl-coated wire mesh with 1-1/2" openings. This size is specifically designed to allow smaller songbirds like bluebirds to access the mealworms while preventing larger nuisance birds and squirrels from reaching the food.
The perch is optional. While bluebirds are perfectly capable of clinging to the wire mesh, some birds prefer the perch for easier access. You can attach or remove it based on the behavior of the birds visiting your yard.
The feeder is designed for hanging, but it can also be pole-mounted if you purchase a compatible adapter. This flexibility allows you to place it in the most accessible spot for your local bird population.
The glass mealworm cup is dishwasher safe, making it easy to sanitize between refills. Regular cleaning is recommended to keep the feeding area hygienic for your birds.
Yes, the feeder is built with powder-coated galvanized steel, which is highly resistant to rust and weather damage. The roof also provides essential protection for the mealworms, keeping them dry during rain.
The design is well-suited for a variety of small songbirds, including chickadees, downy woodpeckers, titmice, nuthatches, orioles, wrens, and warblers.
