This Kettle Moraine feeder is a post-mount cedar mealworm station with a recessed dish and guarded openings that keep worms contained while giving bluebirds a steady spot to land and feed. Mounting it on a post keeps it close to a nest box and away from hanging-feeder traffic.
Fix it to a post near a bluebird box or open lawn in spring and summer when adults feed nestlings and mealworm protein matters most, refilling the dish daily during peak feeding. The cedar weathers to a soft silver and the dish lifts out to clean.
Kettle Moraine has built backyard bird feeders in Wisconsin for years, working in natural cedar and recycled materials made to last outdoors.
