I got this very quickly and put it up immediately. If you calculate the cost of the two metal disks, the feeder framework the dish and framework, the hanging wire and clamp and the metal cage, you couldn't put one together for the price these are going for. Yes, the price is a bit high, however, it includes two enameled blue disks, one as a lid and the other as a floor, plus a wire grid spaced to exclude starlings, plus a hanging wire and a beautiful blue glass dish to hold the meal worms and a wire framework that you sit the dish in. So, I searched for and found this feeder advertised as a starling proof feeder and a squirrel proof feeder. I even consulted a wildlife biologist, who told me that bluebirds are a bit smaller than starlings so it might be possible to include bluebirds while excluding starlings. I went to a local shop specializing in wild bird supplies and they told me that there was not. I was wondering if there was a starling proof feeder that would keep starlings out while letting blue birds in. Soon, every time I would put out the meal worms, the starlings would show up in flocks, bullying the other birds away, and they would pig down the entire contents of the feeders with a couple hours. I was thrilled to see the western blue birds enjoying the meal worms. I researched what type of food would keep them close and one was meal worms. I had never before seen a western blue bird, but they started coming to my feeders about a year ago. I was born in the pacific northwest and have lived here most of my life. Porch pirates would be really disappointed if they stole from my porch.Īfter i started using feeders specifically made for dried meal worms, I noticed some western blue birds appearing. I even buy dried meal worms in bulk as well as buying dried fruit in bulk to add to my seed mixes. My neighbors say I have the most spoiled birds in the neighborhood because I make my own plugs for my wooden plug feeders, and I make Seed logs for the other feeders. I have several different types of bird feeders, including suet plug feeders, seed log feeders, antimicrobial feeders and feeders made specifically for dried meal worms and of course hummingbird feeders. I even buy feather boas and cut them up so the birds can weave them into their nests, and I buy alpaca wool for their nests and even cut up 100 % wool yarn for them to use in their nests. Not only do I feed them, I provide them housing and nesting materials too. (I am not afraid of clowns but I hate them because their makeup hides their true nature, as in John Wayne Gacy.) They were also the disgusting nasty birds in Hitchcock's Movie, "The Birds." I feel that movie displays their true nature, just as "Killer Clowns from Outer Space" displays clowns' true nature. They bully other birds and also beat up on other birds, keeping them from feeding and raiding or taking over other birds' nests. I HATE STARLINGS but I love most other kinds of birds Starlings are an unfortunate import from England and they are the selfish brutish pigs of the bird world. ![]() To learn more about how and for what purposes Amazon uses personal information (such as Amazon Store order history), please visit our Privacy Notice.
