Blue Birds

My husband loves feeding all the birds in the usual way, with bird feeders.

&

He has a special love for the Blue Bird.

So he raises mealworms, yes you heard me right, he raises mealworms in a plastic storage box for the sole purpose of feeding his blue birds. And yes, we have that plastic box in the closet of our office!!!!

Each morning he puts10-12 worms in this plastic bowl and the Blue Bird, almost instantly, comes to get its meal. He grabs a few & flies off to feed the babies and then returns until they are all gone.

Here is a closer, yet not as clear view.

He built Blue Bird boxes: for himself, our son-in-love, Dave, and our neighbor, Wayne.



He has nurtured and watched a pair of blue birds build their next, sit on the eggs, watch 4 Blue Bird eggs hatch, and now watches the 4 little blues waiting to see them fledge.
