Hi,

My name is Chris, I’m here in southwestern Ohio and I’ve been interested in bluebirds since the late 1980’s. I currently have a flock of 6 bluebirds that are visiting regularly, I’ve convinced them to eat dried mealworms. I use the BBF1, it does do a good job of keeping starlings out, but they rock the cage back and forth and shake the mealworms out. I’m wondering if i post mount it or use a counterweight if that might help.

I do use the deluxe repeating sparrow trap, works well for starlings when baited with peanut suet, im trapping 5 or 6 at each setting.

This past year ive had more success bluebirding, i attribute that to working from home because of the COVID. I’ve been able to more closely monitor boxes, run off predators, man the traps, and currently feed the birds.
