Bluebirds' favorite food of all... live mealworms! Sometimes it's the only way to actually attract blues to your place. The creepy crawly part isn't so bad, it's easy once you get the hang of feeding and handling!
Live Mealworms are Fairly Inexpensive
The worms are fairly inexpensive when purchased in bulk... it's the overnight freight that hurts! So the more you can buy - the less expensive they are. Some folks even grow their own worms, but it's a very time-consuming project requiring great patience. Wouldn't you rather spend that time bird watching?
