A Bluebird’s primary diet is insects and fruit. Planting native plants like American Bittersweet is a great way to attract and help Bluebirds. Another super way to attract and help Bluebirds is by feeding mealworms. At 50.4% protein, they are an excellent nutrition source.
You can start feeding mealworms in a cut or pan, but because many birds like’em and will eat you out of house and home, most people graduate to a Bluebird Feeder. In a Bluebird Feeder, the bird has to go through an entrance hole to find the worms and few birds besides the Bluebird will do so. You might spend weeks trying different presentations of worms before Bluebirds learn to dine regularly; however the results are worth it, as Bluebirds are delightfully trainable even to the point of responding to whistles and other calls when your feeder is refilled. Bluebirds have also been trained to eat Sunflower Kernels from Spiral Feeders. At Sneade’s Ace Home Center we have all you need to feed your Bluebirds; Bluebird Feeders, Mealworms and tube feeders.
Don’t miss the NEW first of it’s kind a hand crafted cooper feeder designed to feed mealworms to Bluebirds. Includes a blue bowl and blue glass bed to attract Bluebirds. Bowl is easy to remove for cleaning, yet is securely held in place by solid copper wire during use.
If you ring it, they will come! When putting out mealworms and other treats for your feathered friends, ring your Chow Time Birdie Bell and watch an array of birds from Chickadees to Bluebirds train to line up and enjoy their treat!

Bluebird Houses
Our (and the Bluebirds) favorite nesting box is the Ultimate Nest Box. This box has:
– Brass hinged doors on both sides to monitor the nest without the danger of chicks falling out.
– Predator protector of solid copper to eliminate squirrels and woodpeckers from enlarging the entrance hole.
– Elevated mesh floor to help protect the young chicks from Blowflies.
– Zinc Chromate plated screws that provide a more sturdy, longer lasing house than one assembled with nails. The screws will not “bleed” leaving unattractive stains below.
– Made of long lasting Cedar.
