How to Attract Bluebirds

Habitat

There are three species of bluebirds found in North America, including Eastern, Western and Mountain Bluebirds. They prefer open spaces with few trees like suburban lawns, golf courses and parks. Bluebirds use nest boxes, and they can be attracted to feeders.

APS Nest Box Set UpRecommended Housing

To entice bluebirds to nest in your yard, we recommend using one of our Wild Birds Unlimited Bluebird Houses. Our nest houses provide protection from weather and proper ventilation from extreme temperatures as well as good drainage, easy cleaning, and durability. We have some that open for viewing nests/babies.  Available in durable wood or recycled plastic.  

 

Using the Wild Birds Unlimited Advanced Pole System®, place the house at a safe, desired height of about five feet. This height is optimum for bluebirds, and it allows you to easily monitor their progress. 

 

Use the Wild Birds Unlimited Raccoon Baffle to prevent squirrels, raccoons, snakes or other predators from getting to the nest. 

Recommended Foods

To attract the most bluebirds to your feeders, we recommend offering mealworms, Jim’s Birdacious® Bark Butter® and Bark Butter Bits. We carry a variety of feeders that you can use to offer these foods to your birds.

 

Mealworms are ideal for providing the necessary protein and nutrients to adult bluebirds and their babies.  We stock live and dried mealworms instore.

 

Jim’s Birdacious Bark Butter is the perfect blend of protein and fat, and it will keep them going regardless of the weather.  

 

Bark Butter Bits contain calcium and may support healthier bones and eggs for mother birds and their babies. Or try Bugs and Bits-a blend of dried mealworms and Bark Butter Bits all together in one convenient bag.
