The Experience The Bluebird Basics kit gives the first-time bluebird steward everything needed to attract and sustain Eastern Bluebirds from day one. A matched Lake Blue bluebird house and bluebird feeder, built from recycled poly-lumber, pair with a 5 lb supply of dried mealworms — the single highest-value food source for insectivorous bluebirds. Every piece is sized and engineered specifically for bluebirds, giving a new steward a complete, move-in-ready habitat system without guesswork.
Both the house and feeder share matched Lake Blue coloring and identical poly-lumber construction — built to resist cracking, fading, and weathering season after season with zero maintenance. The house features a 1.5" entrance hole sized precisely for bluebirds, with a side-door cleanout for easy end-of-season maintenance. The feeder's enclosed mealworm cup keeps food dry and accessible. Together, they form a coordinated bluebird habitat — house for nesting, feeder for supplemental feeding — right out of the box.
Scientific Engineering
Species-Specific Entrance Sizing: The 1.5" house entrance hole is precisely sized for Eastern Bluebirds, allowing target species access while limiting entry to larger competing cavity nesters.
Recycled Poly-Lumber Construction: Both house and feeder are built from high-density recycled poly-lumber, structurally resistant to moisture, UV radiation, and biological decay — no painting, staining, or seasonal treatment required.
Side-Door Cleanout Access: The house's side-access door allows quick, tool-minimal cleaning between nesting seasons, supporting healthy reuse year over year.
Dried Mealworm Supply: Includes 5 lbs of dried mealworms at 54% crude protein — the primary supplemental food source that draws and retains bluebirds on a property.
Boutique & Conservation Values
A Complete Habitat, Not Just a House: Pairing a nesting structure with a dedicated feeding station gives bluebirds both shelter and sustenance — the two pillars of successful backyard bluebird stewardship.
Matched Lake Blue Finish: House and feeder share a coordinated colorway, creating a cohesive, intentional look rather than a mismatched assortment of parts.
Zero-Maintenance Materials: Poly-lumber construction means no seasonal refinishing — more time observing bluebirds, less time maintaining their habitat.
