Comments on: Bluebird Fanatic Part II http://www.thebsp.org/blog/2009/04/21/bluebird-fanatic-part-ii/ Where it's all about Bluebirds and other Nest Cavity Birds accross Pennsylvania and Elsewhere Sat, 07 Aug 2010 17:08:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Tammy http://www.thebsp.org/blog/2009/04/21/bluebird-fanatic-part-ii/comment-page-1/#comment-423 Tammy Wed, 03 Jun 2009 01:19:22 +0000 http://www.thebsp.org/blog/?p=163#comment-423 It didn't work out unfortunately. The next thing I know the pair of bluebirds are nesting 2 doors down in a box, and a wren is stripping my box of its nesting material. I cannot get any bluebirds to nest in my yard, much to my dismay. I have a few pairs that come in to eat my mealworms in a container on top of the box, but not to nest just to eat. They have become quite tame though, and know when I feed them, and I no sooner turn my back to walk away, and they are coming in for a landing to eat. I think I could get them to eat out of my hands. I was thinking maybe I should move the feeding cup off the bluebird box, and maybe then they would see it more as a nesting box than a place to feed. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I got some beautiful pictures of my feathered friends, and will try to get them posted, but will need my daughters help for this task. I enjoy watching these beautiful bluebirds eating mealworms on the perch, and then in the evenings they are in the trees and swooping down in the grass for bugs. I sit in amazement and ask myself how long this has been going on in my backyard, but I just never took the time to look. Bluebird Fanatic It didn’t work out unfortunately.
