Welcome the Bluebirds Home: The Amish Gilbertson Poly Bluebird Feeder (The "Jail" Feeder!)
Imagine the iridescent flash of a male Eastern Bluebird, a vibrant streak of sky against your green lawn. These gentle, insect-loving beauties are a symbol of happiness and often a prized sighting for any backyard bird enthusiast. But attracting them requires a specialized approach – a safe haven where they can dine in peace, undisturbed by larger, more assertive bird species.
Enter our ingenious Amish Gilbertson Poly Bluebird Feeder, affectionately known as the "Jail Bluebird Feeder." It's not just a feeder; it's a meticulously designed sanctuary that provides your treasured bluebirds with their favorite meal in an exclusive, secure environment.
Why Bluebirds Will Love This Feeder (And What to Feed Them!)
Bluebirds have a unique diet, primarily consisting of insects, especially during breeding season. Unlike many common backyard birds, they don't typically eat traditional birdseed. So, what's their irresistible gourmet treat?
Mealworms! For bluebirds, mealworms are the ultimate delicacy. Whether you choose live or dried mealworms, this feeder is perfectly designed to hold their favorite snack. Simply fill the removable feeding cup, and watch as your bluebirds come flocking!
Other options: Occasionally, you might also offer soft fruit pieces or suet nuggets designed for insect-eating birds.
The "Jailhouse" Advantage: Safety & Exclusivity for Bluebirds
This feeder's defining feature is its clever design, engineered specifically for bluebirds' comfort and security:
- Exclusive Dining: All four sides of this feeder are open, providing quick and easy access for bluebirds. Critically, each side also features a precisely spaced horizontal rod in the middle. These rods act as a natural guardian, allowing smaller, shyer bluebirds effortless entry while politely discouraging larger birds (like starlings, grackles, or even bigger woodpeckers) from muscling in and stealing their food.
- Effortless Access & Cleaning: The removable rod (with a convenient black handle on the end) slides out smoothly, making it simple to load and unload the feeder. No more searching through the yard – the rod features a magnetic closure for a secure fit when in place.
- The feeding cup is also completely removable, making refilling and cleaning an absolute breeze! Keeping your feeder clean is crucial for bird health, and this design makes it effortless.
Built for Beauty, Engineered to Endure: Amish Craftsmanship
You're not just buying a feeder; you're investing in a piece of Amish-made quality that's built for years of enjoyment:
- Virtually Indestructible: Crafted entirely from premium Poly Lumber, a revolutionary material made from recycled plastic. This means your feeder will never rot, crack, splinter, or fade – maintaining its vibrant look through all seasons.
- Weatherproof & Worry-Free: Designed for continuous outdoor use, this feeder is resistant to extreme temperatures, sun, rain, and mold.
- Rock-Solid Construction: Assembled with high-quality Stainless Steel Screws, ensuring superior strength and rust resistance.
- Amish Made in the USA: Each feeder is meticulously handcrafted by skilled Amish artisans in the United States, reflecting a commitment to traditional techniques and unparalleled durability.
