Barrier Guard Specialty Bluebird Feeder – Blue

This is feeder is one of our favorites for keeping hungry eastern bluebirds fed, while keeping the European starlings at bay! Bluebird feeder comes with a blue glass (dishwasher safe) mealworm cup and wire mesh barrier guard. This baffled bluebird feeder is surrounded by sturdy vinyl coated wire mesh with 1-1/2″ square openings to keep out starlings and most squirrels. The top and bottom are fully galvanized steel and powder coated in a blue finish for years of durability. The glass cup is 3.25″ in diameter and 1″ deep and holds about two handfuls of dried mealworms. This feeder comes with a galvanized cable. The cable with the slide pulled down to secure the lid adds 12″ to the height of the feeder, which measures 14″ W x 8″ H. NOTE: Color of dish may fade over time. To preserve color longer do not put in dishwasher; hand wash with soap and water instead. Attracts the following birds: Eastern bluebirds, chickadees, downy woodpeckers, titmice, nuthatches, orioles, wrens, and occasionally warblers. We’ve had mixed reports from customers: sometimes northern mockingbirds fit and sometimes not. We recommend adding the Perch Accessory, sold separately or as a bundle, to help your bluebirds perch together, decide on an entry point, and gain easy access to the feeder. You may also mount it on a 1″ pole by using a Pole Adapter, sold separately. Need more mealworm feeding capacity and a dish that’s winterproof? Try swapping in this new Aluminum Replacement Dish.
