Get our most popular eastern bluebird feeder along with the optional perch attachment, creating the ultimate bluebird feeding system and keeping European starlings at bay!

This feeder is designed to feed eastern bluebirds and many other species mealworms with the glass (dishwasher safe) mealworm cup and barrier guard. This baffled bluebird feeder is surrounded by sturdy vinyl coated wire mesh with 1-1/2" square openings to keep out starlings and squirrels. The top and bottom are fully galvanized steel and powder coated in a blue finish for years of durability.

The glass cup is 3.25" in diameter and 1" deep and holds about two handfuls of dried mealworms.  This feeder comes with a galvanized cable. The cable with the slide pulled down to secure the lid adds 12" to the height of the feeder. The feeder itself measures 14" W x 8" H. Perch makes the total width 22".   

Attracts the following birds: Eastern bluebirds, chickadees, downy woodpeckers, titmice, nuthatches, orioles, wrens, and occasionally warblers. We've had mixed reports from customers: sometimes northern mockingbirds fit and sometimes not.

You may also mount it on a 1" pole by using a Pole Adapter, sold separately.

Need more mealworm feeding capacity and a dish that's winterproof? Try swapping in this new Aluminum Replacement Dish.

This bundle includes the BBF1 feeder and the BGFPA1 perch attachment. 

Made in the USA.

Best Feeder for Mealworms

I love this feeder! I actually have three of them and am thinking of buying one more. These feeders allow my Bluebirds (and other small birds such as Titmice, Chickadees, Wrens, and Song Sparrows) to safely eat their mealworms. The larger birds such as Mockingbirds, Robins, Blue Jays, and dreaded Starlings can’t enter this feeder and gobble up the food. The only negative I can mention is that the blue paint is starting to peel off of all three feeders under the food bowl. I hope this loss of paint doesn’t cause rust someday.

Thanks for the feedback! The top and bottom plates are made from galvanized steel, so they should not rust. The powder coat should not be peeling off, though. Will you send me pictures that I can share with the manufacturer? Is the screw that holds down the dish ring loose? Try tightening up the thumb nut on the bottom, if possible. Let's try to get to the bottom of what's causing the powder coat peeling.

Barrier Guard Bluebird Feeder with Perch

This feeder is very well made. It's sturdy and heavy. I like that the cover keeps the mealworms dry in rainy weather. A wren found the feeder on the first day. She's lovin' all those mealworms to herself. I'm hoping my bluebirds will find it soon. This feeder is pricey, however, it's worth it and should last a long time.
