I found birdseed and then a bird feeder to put the birdseed in, that the bluebirds like.
They’ve ignored my feeders for YEARS, so this is cause for celebration. At this very moment I am dressed all in blue and wearing reddish-brown nail polish whilst chewing on sunflower seeds and very dry unsalted peanuts.
A WINDOW INTO THE WOODS 
I love the bluebirds and used to have them here and fed them mealworms. They had their babies here a few years but now the sparrows have chased them away and took over their bird house. Hope they come back. Till then I’ll enjoy your pictures. Thanks😍

So what kind of seeds do they prefer?

I buy a blend called “No Mess”. It consists of coarse sunflower chips, medium sunflower chips, hulled millet and peanut pieces. I do find that the millet is usually left behind.
I had seven in a small feeder this morning going crazy for the food.

I don’t know why they put millet in (for filler, of course). It’s the seed the birds like least. But the other things sound good. A friend once told me that when he added sunflower seeds to the regular birdseed mix, he got a lot more birds coming to his feeder, so I’ve been doing that too, and it did make a difference. I buy the regular birdseed from Costco and add a bag of sunflower seeds (birdseed kind, not the salted Spitz!) and the birds love it. But I’ll keep my eyes open for “No Mess.” I like the sound of it.

The mix that you make sounds good, No mess can be a little expensive…the thing that I wonder about with it, is that the bird seed guy says no weeds will grow if it falls on the ground.

Oh no. That sounds suspiciously like sprayed stuff.

The sunflowers certainly made a difference. And the squirrels like them a lot, so be forewarned if you don’t want the squirrels to be there. (Just send them to me.)

I have one particular squirrel in mind for transport to you. A regular every afternoon.

Lots of room here, although … Lincoln doesn’t like competition. Come to think of it, Della might not either.
