Feeding Bluebirds

What do Bluebirds Eat?

When insects are not available, bluebirds will eat other foods including:

  • Suet
  • Berries
  • Mealworms
  • Soft cracked seeds such as sunflower chips

Ways You Can Help Bluebirds Find Food

  • Plant berry-bearing trees and shrubs.
  • The fruits eaten in the fall provide the bluebirds with insulative winter fat.
  • Provide feeders containing mealworms or currants.
