Handfeeding bluebird

Here's a picture of me handfeeding a male bluebird. I could actually call them into the mealworm feeder by ringing a bell and they became used to me. They are soooooo soft to touch.

That's really neat. May I ask what you are feeding them? I can't tell from the picture, but it doesn't appear to be mealworms.

Hi Kendra........I have mealworms in my hand. They go crazy over them especially when they have young to feed. You are also probably seeing C&S Bluebird nuggets which I have seen them eat, and I also put homemade BB suet and blueberries in the feeder. Their best treat is the mealworms though.

Thanks Hannah. I was really curious what you were feeding because the picture made it appear to be something like berries. They do so love the mealworms.
