Mealworms are the closest thing to a guaranteed bluebird attractant. Bluebirds barely touch seed, but they'll come daily for mealworms — and the same dish handles grape jelly when orioles and catbirds arrive in spring.

The metal build matters here: jelly and mealworms are messier than seed, and a metal dish wipes clean properly rather than staining or holding odour the way plastic does.
