Bluebirds are one of America’s favorite birds. Bluebirds were once rare because their natural habitat in nesting cavities (like old fences and tree holes) was threatened. Bluebirds, however, have made a comeback because of the large scale national movement to install bluebird birdhouses.
Place bluebird nest boxes on poles in open, large fields – their preferred habitat. Bluebirds eat berries and insects, which they snatch up from the ground. Bluebirds are uncommon visitors to bird feeders, but they may show up to eat suet or sunflower chips. Bluebirds are particularly fond of mealworms. The beautiful red, white, and blue Eastern Bluebird can be found throughout the East to the Rockies. The Mountain and Western Bluebirds can be spotted throughout the Western U.S.
