Just had my first baby bluebirds fledge this week. I miss seeing the parents and older sibs from the last clutch around, so I bought some mealworms hoping to attract the family back to my yard (or maybe other insect eating birds). Have put them out on our platform feeder in a little glass dish as per the recommendations on many websites, but they've been untouched for two days now. What am I doing wrong?
PS - the picture is of the four babies in the nest the last time I took their pic before leaving them alone at day 12
