This is feeder is one of our favorites for keeping hungry eastern bluebirds fed while keeping the European starlings at bay! Bluebird feeder comes with a clear glass (dishwasher safe) mealworm cup and wire mesh 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 most squirrels. The top and bottom are fully galvanized steel and powder coated in Erva's exclusive "Copper Tint" 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, which measures 14" W x 8" H. 

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.

We recommend adding the Perch Accessory, sold separately, to help your bluebirds perch together, decide on an entry point, and gain easy access to the feeder.

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.

Made in the USA.

We won the battle!

We had a serious mockingbird problem.
They became so aggressive that our bluebirds and Carolina wrens were unable to access their food. The mockingbirds took over our domed bowl feeders completely. Mealworms were devoured and scattered on the ground. The bluebirds were scared away.
We decided to splurge and try the Erva feeder. We thought we had succeeded but the mockingbirds kept trying. They would hop around the feeder stick their head in the lower 2 rows of the barrier and eat the mealworms that had been scattered around the edge of the feeder. They still wouldn’t leave the area and the wrens were still competing with them to eat.
So I had the idea to use narrow zip ties around the middle of the 2 bottom rows of the barrier. They are almost invisible and they prevent the mockingbirds from accessing any food around the edges.
Today, a couple of weeks later the bluebirds are coming back and they figured out the Erva feeder. They and the wrens can now eat. Success!
The mockingbird bullies are finally getting the picture and we see very little of them in our yard. If only they were willing to share with our other birds but oh well. Thanks!

very effective

This feeder really feeds small, desirable birds while keeping out squirrels, grackles, etc. It is very well made and provides a lot of enjoyable bird watching. It is easy to fill, too.

Excellent choice

This feeder solved my bluebird/Starling problems so well. I could not be happier, it is perfect. The bluebirds (even the larger males) just come and go freely. Other birds visit too, Carolina Wrens, Nuthatches, on and on small birds. Absolutely no starlings. I bought the larger dish, fill it every other day. The perch addition makes it so easy for the bluebirds. The copper color looks really nice too. What more can I say? Perfect!

This feeder is beautiful. It is easy to fill too. The bluebirds love it. The grackles don't. I call that a win/win!

Very nice feeder

My backyard birds love this. So far the mealworms are a hit with the yellow rumped warblers. I sprinkle a seed blend of sunflower, peanut pieces, and safflower on the base and pine siskins, goldfinch, and house finches come in, so I’m getting double duty out of the feeder. It’s lightweight, easy to fill, and easy to clean. I recommend this feeder.
