WHAT DO BLUEBIRDS EAT IN WINTER? 6 COMMON FOODS

From a-z-animals.com
  • Berries. Bluebirds enjoy eating a variety of berries throughout the year. During the summer and early fall, you can find them snacking on blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries.
  • Seeds. Although the bluebirds’ main diet consists of insects and berries, they tend to be less picky when food is scarcer. However, depending on your location, snow, and low visibility can make finding seeds difficult for birds in the winter as well.
  • Nuts. Nuts aren’t a central part of the bluebirds’ diet, but they certainly enjoy eating them as well. Peanuts and walnuts are high in protein, which can be difficult to find in the cold winter months.
  • Peanut Butter. According to the New York State Bird Society, individuals who want to feed bluebirds during the winter can use peanut butter to make a “bluebird banquet.”
  • Suet. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, suet is the hardened fat that surrounds the kidneys of several animals, namely cows. Natural suet with no additives or preservatives can be used to create a hardy, bluebird-friendly meal.
