I had been filling a small tray with meal worms as my resident pair of bluebirds had several new mouths to feed. They knew the drill. When I approached the tray, it was meal worm time. Unfortunately, a robin also knew what I was up to and swooped down and quickly gobbled up all the worms.
I ordered a Pearl Mini Feeder which arrived in two days.
I have had domed feeders before with mixed results. One problem is they don’t adjust easily, making it hard to fill the trays. But these Pearl Feeders are the cat’s meow.
They are especially designed for small birds like bluebirds. The birds can easily see worms in the tray and the dome adjusts quickly and effortlessly. It’s made of a tough polycarbonate fiber that is chew resistant to squirrels. The stainless-steel center rod won’t rust or corrode.
It’s absolutely perfect.
Within minutes after I hung the new feeder, the bluebirds were in it. A few minutes later, then robin showed and was unable to get to the worms
Problem solved.
