I have bluebird houses hanging on my garden fence. I also hang a container of mealworms on the fence right by the houses to attract the bluebirds. I just watched a bluejay landing at the mealworm container and then the bluebird pair dive-bombed it and chased it away. I wonder if the bluebirds are protecting this food source or their nests? And if it is just their nests they are protecting, if I should move the food container to the opposite side of the garden?
