More about Bluebirds


My own bluebird quote of the day:


"Bluebird houses (and bird feeders) are like having a premium channel on cable."




These are 2 photos from my summer bluebirds. The first is the female sitting on the food tray. I fed them meal worms and the bluebirds were almost Pavlovian in their response. When I walked out to the birdhouse with the worms they would immediately fly in for the meal. It worked well for showing off "MY" bluebirds. The female is usually a little less vivid in the blue coloring. The second picture is a male on the house. He will scout out the housing for the female and then she gets the final decision, which she makes by starting the nest.
