Bluebird sitting on a meal worm feeder

Did you know that Bluebirds and others can be trained to come to your meal worm feeder by whistling or ringing a bell when you are feeding live meal worms? I friend of mine in Missouri had a large property on which he had several meal worm feeders. He used is golf cart to drive from feeder to feeder to fill them with meal worms. He attached a bell to his golf cart and the bluebirds begin follow him on the golf cart as he drove from about checking his bluebird houses and filling the meal worm feeders. I have also heard stories of people whistling or ringing a hand held bell each time they filled up their meal worm feeder and attracting the bluebirds to come and eat now. If you are feeding meal worms purchase a hand held bell and ring it each time you fill up and your feeder and watch as the bluebirds become trained that it is “chow time” each time you ring your bell. You will be amazed at the results.
