Click on above link to see our male Western Bluebird feeding one of his chicks.
Six eggs were laid on April 14. The birds hatched April 29. They fledged 3
chicks May 21. We feed dried mealworms on the back deck, and observe the male
feeding the chicks. The female immediately began making a nest in a new box in
the back yard. We witnessed her mating with a brighter blue male bird, not the
male that is caring for the chicks. The female rarely feeds the chicks, while
the male is in a frenzy feeding chicks.
The chicks finally ate on their own, this morning, although the male is
certainly still feeding them.
