Bluebirds love the meal worm feeders I make by recycling Dairy Queen Sundae Cups! I have four of the feeders wired to my deck. The bluebirds sit atop my fraser fir trees and wait and watch for me to add meal worms to the cups. Quickly the birds come to my deck to enjoy a free “meal worm sundae!” It’s a treat for me to observe the beautiful bluebirds up close and personal!

Another stunning photo of birds doing “their thing”. Go green with a blue bird!
Can’t be blue very long when looking at this colorful bluebird!
