14 Eastern Bluebirds visit feeder at once!

Word is getting out that seahue has mealworms...started out with 6 bluebirds...then a couple weeks later another 6...and then more and more....I wish mealworms didn't cost so much! I always help the bluebirds out with food when their regular supply is covered by snow and ice....I also help the robins out with raisins...I saw a bunch of robins today...hope to get some footage soon:)
Used entry level gopro 4....
Some footage with no macro lens
Some footage with polar pro 3.8X macro lens

A western blue bird and a Mountain blue Bird visited my feeder. Such beautiful birds

[@nashvlbees]

You're right, watching Bluebirds is so much fun but the cost of mealworms is very expensive. The solution is to raise your own mealworms. It's so simple and cheap. All you need are a few plastic trays, some wheat bran and a few baby carrots. I won't go into detail but there are hundreds of videos on raising mealworms. You'll never run out again!

[@thebirdperch_MI]

How wonderful! I have my first nest of baby bluebirds this year (they might have fledged today) and am so obsessed with these beautiful birds! I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I had 14 at my feeder!! I have my cameras ready in case mom and dad bring the babies!

[@deslynnsporne8684]

Such a beautiful video of bluebirds feeding.🐦🐦🐦💞☺

[@user-ss8fo4mz7e]

Изумительное видео! Изумительный оператор! Чудесные птички! Птички наверно думают,что они попали в Птичий Рай)))

[@margiemcpeak9304]

seahue! Congratulations on an awesome video! I never really put much thought into feeding them; other than special berry cakes & suet cakes. Obviously, mealworms are the way to go! Now I'm in poor health and unable to replace houses, put up feeders, etc. Your video absolutely made my day! My mother & father used to call blue jays bluebirds a long time ago. (I saw another viewer who said the same. Lol) I gave them their first "official" bluebird house and the ONLY feeders they ever had. Oh, how they loved the Eastern bluebirds when they started seeing them come to their yard! Quite a long time ago, I had pairs of bluebirds and several families to stay thru fledging. The type of bluebird house, size of the entry, height at which you mount it, where you mount it and places to fly to when spooked all have to be considered when providing housing for them. It's all totally worth whatever it takes! Thank you, seahue, from the bottom of my old heart for sharing this special video with so many others. I'll be sharing it, too! God bless you and all of your beautiful feathered friends. 💜

[@Fireoflearning]

Thank you, very cool!

[@JonniesJourney]

Wow that's awesome

[@DonGagnon]

Thanks for an extraordinary, entertaining film of a true bakers dozen of happy bluebirds getting together to share yummy snacks!

[@seahue]

Thanks for watching and your nice comment:)

[@StephenPShaw]

Great footage! Those mealworms didn't take long to disappear.

[@ShellG.]

This is wonderful!! :) I just love bluebirds! This is amazing footage, thank you so much for sharing with us!

[@dianekearney1068]

wow how wonderful! Thanks for this and for feeding the birds!!

[@JackMustang]

They’re kind of cute.

[@vistaprime]

if I could get one to visit I'd be happy.

[@tomtalker2000]

You want Blue Birds folks put out MEALWORMS...!!! It's there favorite i've had just as many at my feeders especially over the winter months. I've been in the avian field now for the past 30yrs. So i've had my fair share of time feeding and working with these birds among MANY other species for that matter. And no matter what i've experimented with in terms of feeding them Mealworms are there MEAL TICKET and main attractant. So if you have them in your area whether there nesting or feeding at your feeders. Give them meal worms and watch them go ecstatic...!!!

[@reneescarborough2499]

I didn’t think they would eat dead meal worms.. This surprised me

[@cruzechevy3485]

Thanks for the input

[@carvinlambert6899]

@@reneescarborough2499 They're right outta the Fridge , I think. I keep mine in the Fridge to make them stay in the Worm stage. They'll go Beetle on ya in no time at all, but that's giving away a few more secrets.

[@d.r.3352]

4:50 she sees us..we're caught ! ;-)

[@tartgreenapple]

Get them a pile of LIVE mealworms and film it, they would go BONKERS!!!

[@Ginny2708]

We don’t have Eastern Bluebirds in UK but they remind me somewhat of the European Robin with their tawny chests and keen, bright eyes.

[@d.r.3352]

wow amazing

[@gitvin]

Love the little Nuthatch coming in to get some goodies too.

[@KennethKramm]

Hi David. I've never seen so many bluebirds at a feeder at once! Exceptional!!! Bet they've never seen so many tasty morsels! Awesome. Don't know what else to say... uuuummmmm Congratulations, my friend.

[@seahue]

Hi Ken! Thank you:D Your vids are so much fun:)

[@owenrudy1703]

KennethKramm I hear you bro of the birds

[@marilynlivingston3462]

a beautiful sight to behold, seeing these beautiful friends filling their hungry little bellies! Thankyou for loving them and sharing your outstanding video with us! I feed wild birds year round in Colorado and seeing this is so good for my soul!

It looks like a meal on a Klingon spaceship.

LOL:) Thank you:D

[@redcat608]

This comment won the Internet!

[@amazinggrace5503]

I've got many Eastern Bluebirds also since I put up a bluebird house about a year ago .They seem to only like the dried mealworms and they spend alot of time chasing each other around. I don't know if they're being competitive, playful or just honing their skills but they do have some wonderful flying abilities.

[@paulineb66]

Wow. It's good to know there are healthy populations of bluebirds around. Maybe you can farm your own mealworms.

[@seahue]

Yes the bluebirds are doing great in Connecticut...I've talked to people from other towns in Connecticut and they say they see many bluebirds as well:) I thought about farming my own mealworms...yet the bluebirds only eat them when the snow covers the ground...so it is a seasonal thang..I just found a great site on the internet that sells mealworms for an awesome price...4 pounds for $45 ..The feed stores around my house charge close to $100 for 4 pounds!

[@adeleinfante9786]

What a beautiful sight! The gang is all here and having a feast.

[@koreanature]

Wow, Beautiful Upload friend. keep it up. Thank you for sharing this to us. Greetings from Korea

[@wildbirdsunlimitedfortcoll4309]

Wow, that's so cool! You need more mealworms in that feeder

[@jexmartinez9343]

I have a bluebird box. They have nested for 3 years. Over 50 little birds have come out of that box. Next to the box I have a bird feeder and they never go to the feeder. These birds are primarily carnivorous, they like worms, insects and love spiders. It is fun to see that none of them in this video eat seeds, they are all going for the dried worms :-) :-)

[@michelleh4098]

Hi. Thanks for posting this video. Santa told me I was getting a mealworm feeder for our resident bluebirds this Christmas. What else did you put in the feeder besides mealworm? Appears to be corn? And seed?

[@TheWildlifeKate]

I absolutely love this! What a wonderful set up you have! :o)

[@seahue]

Thank you:) So happy to hear from you!

[@douglasheffron6119]

I just started to put out bluebird boxes this year.I have a lot to learn i find it very rewarding as of 5/5/2019 she is sitting on 5 eggs i have a camera in the box .Wish me luck i an caught up in the bluebird fever.

[@outdoorztime2923]

Nice video! This is the most I've seen together at one time. 🎉

[@ItalyPaul]

Very nice

[@juanrider817]

Very nice video, they sure do like those long insects.

[@patriciamcdermott9589]

omgosh they are soooo beautiful!

[@marilynlivingston3462]

BTW...if I didn't know birds had beaks, I'd swear I am hearing their lips smack🐦🤓😁 from a fellow birder and feeder...

[@amyrohde7307]

We moved from MD to PA last March and, with broken hearts, left our precious beloved bluebird generations in MD. (we def considered trapping them and dragging them to PA with us! )Our many blue bird feeders full of mealworms have not succeeded in getting PA bluebirds to visit us.. We are going to put out some houses soon, but is there anything else you can suggest? We have plenty of other birds... but just no bluebirds..

[@samsen201]

I think I see more that 14 but that might be me and diplopia! :)

[@steveyates1136]

The mature males are beautiful

[@myraalderete]

4:50 Did you see the Nuthatch?!

[@1340hdi]

thoes blue birds are so cute.

[@roncarney7445]

Best video on KZbin

[@stifflers69mom1]

WOW AMAZING.....last year we moved to a new house in November and there was a little tree with dried berries right in the back yard and the first week we were there I looked outside and there must have been 20 bluebirds in that tree and I was so happy.........it’s been two years now I’ve never seen another bluebird...... im baffled

[@marilyngiannuzzi9867]

We only get a couple at our feeders in the Winter.I would love to have this many!

[@rebeccalovesjesus]

As a kid I always thought blueJay's and bluebirds were the same thing. I've sill never actually seen a bluebird in person, but I love watching 14 of them chow down on meal worms!

[@teresaferrari5192]

LadyFlora If you put up a bluebird house, they will come :)

[@kellymalyon-anlezark2186]

I love it! 💖📸🌠

[@kchilton27]

Beautiful!!

[@7h3w4i7]

Beautiful footage and what a buffet!

[@wonderwormwoman6088]

You can raise your own mealworms, freeze, then oven dry or serve live. :) They are fun to raise, too Thanks for sharing.

[@PhiloAmericana]

Bet they were happy that day :)

[@SmokyMountainStarlight]

Absolutely Gorgeous!!

[@Afrikitty]

Envy comes to mind, David. I wish I could get Eastern Bluebirds to come to my patch.

[@lorijackson3905]

Meal worms to Bluebirds are like Pizza to Humans 😊

[@RovingPunster]

If you watch the beginning at 0.25x you can see they really love those dried mealworms - they flew off when their crops were filled.

[@ScottCrothers]

Awesome!!! I just bought a Bluebird Feeder. There were Bluebirds here at my new home last year. Your video inspires me to believe my feeder will be successful. Going to set it up now. 3,000 Mealworms are due to be delivered today. Going to add Currants as well. Thanks for posting this video!

[@RovingPunster]

@seahue: Mealworms are easy and cheap to grow ... videos abound on how. Lots of ppl who raise chickens or have pet reptiles raise them. Some people eat them ... theyre supposedly nutty tasting when dry roasted at low heat.

[@TheHatGuy1500]

Imagine a whole flock of birds saw a backyard covered in grubs

[@jimwiskus8862]

This is really helpful! We could never figure out why our bluebirds only seem to drink water from our heated birdbath. We live in Council Bluffs, Iowa we are situated in a acreage type setting away from the city. Do you have a certain mix or recipe for your bluebird feed? Thank you!

[@sevenrats]

Last spring I noticed a few bluebirds eating from our suet feeders so this year I put out a mealworm feeder. Now we have a marauding flock of 20 bluebirds that come by everyday!

[@aijem423]

Very neat! I've only seen 2 bb at one time in our yard. This many is amazing!

[@chandadeaton9693]

This is awesome! :)

[@NathanChisholm041]

You got to use live meal worms! They'll go nut even more...

[@brandsplanet4381]

If X = Y and Y = Z then X = Z. Man eats Chicken and Chicken eats Worms. So does that mean man eats worms ?

[@jims1942]

Our Bluebirds feed at our suet feeder daily.

[@TheOperatorbob]

what camera did you use ?

[@GBSheridan]

Wow! Crazy how many there are!!

[@kozmokramer2310]

I am an amateur photographer I have several pics of this bird and 1 great video. I love your video. I am a little anxious when I get the meal worms I will have my camera ready. Thank you for sharing your video.

[@evilelfis3646]

are they freeze dried?

Wonderful footage and an amazing sight!

[@seahue]

Thank you:D

[@susanreynolds9947]

what supplier has the best price on mealworms. i'm in maryland and can only put a few out at a time and have only ever seen one bluebird

[@breenamitchell9072]

Hello Seahue. wow this one was amazing, i'm glad to see you got lots of view on this one. you have so many that should have thousands of views. i'm gonna share your channel with my daughter for my grand daughters viewing. cheers mate.

That for sure is the most bluebirds I've seen at once. We usually see two or three at a time. Then, the males duel for the girl.

[@wtopp345985]

Can dried mealworms be fed also instead of live ones?

I only use dried mealworms and the bluebirds love them:)

I'm in southern New Hampshire and we have them year round now. If you don't already in VT you probably will soon too.

[@smyrnasstory]

Thank you for feeding the bluebirds. I also do it in my backyard and I absolutely love my babies. I put a container with water, and they drink all day long (The righteous one takes care of his domestic animal)

[@lightowl4345]

This is great! My parrot and I could watch this all day long. They are so adorable!!

[@somegirl558]

I find it adorable you watch youtube videos with your parrot..

[@juliezdrazil4600]

I get my freeze dried mealworms from MEALWORMS BY THE POUND They have free shipping & cheaper prices! You order them one day & you have them in less than a week! Love the video & the bluebirds!!!

[@PsYcoPink]

Wowweeee this is AWESOME! ☺️ I live in the UK 🇬🇧 so always nice to c dif species of birb close up. Their blue colour is amazing, wish my skin could look so cool lol. So do u reckon this must b a family? Did they return the following yr? Thanks 4 sharing, rly cool vid 🙏 🐦 🐦 💙 🐦 🐦

[@jerrygallaher2641]

Omg

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

FYI- Raising mealworms is very easy and start-up cost is minimal. There are some instructional videos you can watch to understand what you will need. Thanks for the cool video!!

[@jimmyk8076]

Nice to see someone subsidizes with a buffet of many options...Here in extreme S.Texas you get a few migrants (Eastern Blues) that stay close to sumac tree's for berries when super cold fronts chill us out some days warm days you can see them hunting insects...But they don't stray from sumac's

[@Chrisandjen14]

So neat! I have 2 bluebirds that have built a nest in one of our bird houses and I leave them mealworms. I keep going out and buying live mealworms...I didn't realize they would eat worms that were dead. Or at least, they appear to be dead.

[@seahue]

I never could afford the live mealworms. Luckily they love the dried mealworms, which I could afford, from the fun website CHubby Mealworms...Highly recommended:) I am happy to hear you have a bluebird nest close by:) Someday I hope to set up some nest boxes:) Thanks for stopping by!:)

[@geraldinerice5371]

Live are better, easier to digest. You can hand tame them with live, they love them that much.
