Bluebirds

yes i see them too, but to get them to house is another thing. ;-)

They've made nests in the houses I have along the driveway. Yell at me everytime I walk by to get the mail.

i am happy now, looks like the titmouse/chickadee stink has finally left the house, the bluebirds have come back ;-))))

There's room enough for blue birds, titmouses, and chickerdees! Don't hate on the poor chickadees

Mine are back! Along with a few Blue Jays, some Orioles and Robins. Yay!!

I hadn't seen a Blue Jay near my feeders until this year. No Orioles yet, but maybe they'll come by eventually. The only problem I have right now is squirrels have finally seemed to figure out that we're an easy target.

mights well revive this thread. Saw bluebird sitting on IT'S house yesterday. ALready evicted a chickadee TWICE... Gotta go get fresh dried mealworms !

I wanted to make new houses for them this spring before they got here. Been too busy.

 

[MADPEBS1]

mine is OLD, they don't seem to mind ;-)), no needles in it today either

Anyone's returned yet? Been away for two weeks, had to evict a Chickadee, sorry little bird go some place else ...

I forgot to clean it out. But my bluebird is back in the same nest. I guess he likes his old stink.

Attracting blue jays is no longer difficult if you serve their favorite food in a suitable feeder. If you are looking for the best blue jay feeder, I think the SE6019 wreath feeder is a perfect choice. It has a simple yet sturdy design that can provide plenty of capacity for both peanuts and even tubers. This peanut wreath feeder features openings that allow birds to easily access food while keeping the food intact in a sturdy metal vessel. I was surprised at the amount of food it could serve.

Very old thread, but believe she was talking about the Eastern Bluebird, and not the Blue Jay.

Eastern Bluebird

I have seen some of those flying around my house. Big smile when I see them.

Not a terrible thing to resurrect some of the old threads, there are some classics in there.

You see Orioles in Southern MD?

You see Orioles in Southern MD?

In all my years in Charlotte Hall (43), Ive only saw a Oriole one time at my feeder.

I've noted this before.... The Bluebird is the state bird of NY, but in all the time I lived there never saw one. I did have a lot of Baltimore Orioles, which is the state bird of MD, but have yet to see one here, but have families of Bluebirds.
