Dare I wonder at the protocol regading when we are to send the posties? I know this is not the wonder thread... but now I am stuck like a scratched record [dare I wonder whether anyone here knows what a scratched record may be?]

Thank you BMW ---- I love all wrens ...... well, I love most birds.
Did I tell you that I;ve been trying to feed blue birds for 30 years and finally succeeded

They don't eat in my yard wren but they do take baths.....I'm ready for the orioles to return.

LOL..I know I know.

BMW knows .... Anytime is the right time . Two af a time till the list is done or all at once ,half now half later ... thats why this is so fun . Peace

What do you feed the bluebirds?? (what's on their plate wren?)

I had a flicker on the suet cage this morning...surprised me because I thought they were ground feeders.

Blue birds -- some of the most beautiful, most magnificent, most wonderful creatures God made -- want insects.... they want worms... meal worms. My Walmart now has meal worms in their bird feeding dept. They're right at $7 for 7 oz...... worth ever cent.... er, ah, worth every dollar.
If your Walmart doesn't have them, look at this mail order site ...

Their price is much higher and you have to add on shipping but they always have them.
That site, Duncraft, has wonderful, wonderful calendars for every month...

The blue birds always come in as a small flock and it's a joy. My feeders are on the tiny deck on the back of my condo .... (just a few yards from the back of the condos on the next street) and just 6 feet from my glass doors. It's amazing what sort of birds I get here. And my cats love them as much as I do.
One big single gorgeous mocking bird spends his winters here. I always have downy and red belly woodpeckers ... ever so often a flicker.
Wanna' hear more?

Here I am again --- if you buy some Peanut Nuggets for the woodpeckers they will never want suet again. They all really love this stuff

Ok, gonna look for Peanut nuggets at Walmart...but I make the suet at my feeders. Hope I don't feel rejected. lol
And what kind of feeder do you use for meal worms?

Walmart has little wooden feeders about hmmmmm 7 or 8" tall and 4" wide, two clear plastic sides about 5", with a wooden "lid" that lifts off so you can add the worms. I thought the blue birds had too much trouble to get a worm so I enlarged the lower openings --- easy for me since I have that scroll saw. Very expensive feeders - $5.97 each!!
For me they fell apart very quickly and the cord that secured the box came out within days. I bought new ones and secured everything with super glue and more nails.
