Description

Put the ultimate lockdown on aggressive "bully" birds and neighborhood critters with the JCS Wildlife Deluxe Modern Enclosed Bluebird Feeder. Based on the highly effective sanctuary design by Steve Gilbertson, this upgraded, high-capacity caged exclusion station is mechanically scaled to completely thwart squirrels, European Starlings, and Northern Mockingbirds, while allowing sleek bluebirds and small songbirds to come and go as they please.
Handcrafted in Southern Indiana from heavy-duty recycled plastic lumber, this deluxe hanging fortress features a dual-reservoir system to provide a peaceful, high-volume dining environment that protects your premium bird food from theft.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Selective Caged Entry Enclosure: Precision-engineered to completely strip away the size advantage of invasive species. The protective perimeter bars physically block heavy-chested starlings and tree squirrels while giving sleek bluebirds, wrens, and sparrows safe passage.
  • Dual-Cup Extended Feeding Capacity: Upgraded with two dedicated interior central locking holes to accommodate two removable plastic feeding cups, allowing you to serve double the food volume to support active songbird colonies.
  • Textured Outer Entry Grooves: Formulated with deep horizontal grip channels cut into all four outer sides of the heavy-duty poly base, providing entering bluebirds with optimal perching footholds to securely grip the platform.
  • Smart All-Weather Self-Drainage: Built with strategic drainage holes cut directly into the ends of each entry channel, ensuring rainwater flushes out instantly rather than pooling and souring your food blends.
  • Effortless Gate-Access Refilling: Features an innovative swing-open gate architecture. Simply open the protective side panel, lift out the inner feeding cups for a clean refill, and snap the gate back into its secure locked position in seconds.
  • Heavy-Duty Recycled Poly Lumber Build: Handcrafted from premium outdoor-grade material composed of at least 95% recycled milk jugs. It is entirely non-porous and guaranteed never to crack, split, warp, or fade in the sun.

Backyard Ecosystem Strategy: Training Your Bluebirds

Because bluebirds must learn to hop through the outer enclosure to find their treats, follow these expert e-commerce tips to maximize your success rate:
  1. The Starter Method: When first installing the feeder, place a small amount of mealworms right on the outer ledge or leave the access gate slightly open until your local bluebirds establish a regular feeding pattern. Once they recognize the food source, close the gate; they will intuitively begin using the safety portals.
  2. Elite Live Baits: While dried mealworms, sunflower hearts, and crumbled suet are excellent staple options, nothing hooks a bluebird's attention like movement. Try dropping 15 to 20 live mealworms into the inner cups to draw them inside instantly.
  3. Optimal Yard Placement: For maximum attraction, hang your new deluxe enclosed feeder near a moving water feature, such as an active birdbath or backyard fountain, as bluebirds are heavily drawn to the sound of splashing water.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why is a deluxe dual-cup exclusion feeder better than open platform bird stations?
Open platform feeders are rapidly overrun by starlings, blue jays, and grackles, which will completely clean out an entire cup of expensive mealworms in minutes while chasing away gentler songbirds. This deluxe design completely stops large pests from accessing the food well. By offering two cups, you can feed a larger local population of bluebirds simultaneously without frequent trips outside to refill.
Is this feeder safe to use with live mealworms?
Absolutely. The smooth, vertical walls of the two included 4-ounce plastic feeding cups are meticulously scaled to prevent live mealworms from crawling up the sides and escaping, ensuring the treats stay perfectly contained inside the sheltered core.
How do I clean the inner feeding well?
Maintenance is exceptionally fast and simple. Because recycled poly lumber is completely non-porous, it will not absorb animal oils, old fruit juices, or waste. Simply open the access gate, pull the plastic cups out to wash them, and spray the smooth poly framing down with warm water and mild wildlife-safe soap.
