A good website to find out about anything you want to know about BB's is http://www.sialis.org/ . Sparrows are a problem, they are BB killers and that includes eggs, chicks and adults. There is a section about sparrow control on the Sialis site.

Yes, the nests should be 100 yards apart.

This is a a pic of Mama on the little feeder use for mealworms only. I bought it at Hobby Lobby. I buy mealworms for $7/500 at the local Petsmart. Some people raise them and I don't think it would be difficult. BB's can be addicting, They come to know you and are like a part of the family. My male can be on the main road, a quarter-mile away, see me and here he comes. I was even at a neighbors yard one day and he was flying around fussing at me. They neighbor asked what was wrong with that bird, and I replied, "He just wants some worms." I got a really puzzled look and never bothered to explain.
