Edit to my first post: I forgot to mention I just ordered the BBF1 feeder so am anxious to get this and set it up off our front porch. We already have 2 nesting pair of bluebirds preparing their nests, so it will be extra enjoyable watching them feed. Ohio’s temps can be all over the place in April so mealworms readily available will be a welcome addition to their diet.
Hello,
My name is GS and I’m in northern Ohio. Disclaimer: I apologize for not sharing who I am or where exactly but I don’t put that information out in any forums or social media.
That said, spouse and I have 10 acres here and plenty of bluebirds. We do have many issues with sparrows, however, and despite doing everything we’ve read thus far re: battling them, we still lose some of our babies to them. We have 7 boxes up on our property, which is open, orchard, pond and woods. So we really have a great property for them excepting those dreaded sparrows. So I will be looking forward to reading what others have done outside the normal means of getting rid of them!
We also have Orioles, Tanagers: usually just one pair each. We do have 2 species of owls that nest in our woods or closeby, as well as a nesting pair of hawks and pair of Pileated woodpeckers. Lots of other ‘usual’ backyard birds. Just as an aside.
