The quality is outstanding. My husband was excited to get it. We do have a big problem with Grackles eating all the worms meant for the bluebirds and other birds that like them. He put it up today, we will see how it goes. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the kind words about the quality.
We hope the feeder helps give your bluebirds a better chance at the mealworms. Grackles can be persistent once they find an easy food source, so we’ll be hoping right along with you that this helps slow them down.
We appreciate your support.
Looks like a pretty strong, solid structure. I’m really impressed with the quality and handcraft. I think my neighborhood squirrels will be very well accommodated and I love it.
My bluebird bonded pair immediately started using the feeder. The female was incubating her first brood, and eventually introduced the fledglings to the feeder. Then, they had a second brood. Now I have an entire family of bluebirds visiting daily.
I had already been feeding live mealworms to the pair out of a glass ramekin. So, to transition them, I started to provide mealworms on the feeder, and then by placing live mealworms on the outside edges of the feeder so they would investigate the inside.
(I recommend leaving the removable bar out at first, until they get comfortable going inside.)
I know live mealworms are always moving around, but fortunately, the bluebirds immediately picked up on the mealworms that were placed on the inside edges of the feeder. None of them got away.
I did eventually and temporarily have a problem with a juvenile mockingbird getting in the feeder. I ended up having to wrap the feeder in kitchen twine, with 2 inch gaps. This stopped the mockingbird, and was a huge pain in the butt to maintain, but I would still recommend the feeder. The bluebirds love it.
This feeder is awesome! The woodpeckers just love it. Have both Downey woodpeckers and red belly woodpeckers eating off of the feeder. Seems very well constructed holds a lot of Suet. Have been very satisfied with my purchase.
This is a beautiful bird feeder. The quality of the craftsmanship is obvious as soon as you open the box. Also, their customer service is exceptional. We had an issue with our delivery (for my wife’s birthday), and Richard was very helpful in getting a new delivery sent so it was received quickly. I definitely recommend Bird Haven for both their quality products and wonderful customer service.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review.
We’re glad to hear you’re happy with the feeder and the craftsmanship. I’m also glad we were able to help get the delivery issue taken care of in time for your wife’s birthday.
We truly appreciate your recommendation and support.

This is truly the most sturdy, wonderfully built, mealworm birdfeeder I’ve ever seen. I absolutely love it, and the birds are crazy for it and not only blue birds also chickadees and Carolina wrens have found it already and in just a couple of hours. So happy I purchased.
Definitely worth the purchase. I’m a week in with no bites yet, but the design makes replacing mealworms a breeze. Very well made and should last for years.
Very solid, well-made, beautiful feeder. I had to remove one of the bars initially to get the bluebirds in, but now they get it and I have replaced the bar.
The best, and only suet I can order without corn as an ingredient. I appreciate not attracting invasive house sparrows to my yard. Thank you for your amazing suet!
This is a very high quality bird feeder. The materials were more than the cost of the feeder. The only short coming is a center mount that would allow it to be placed on a pole rather than hanging it.
Thank you for the great review and kind words about the quality of the feeder.
For pole mounting, we do offer a post mount flange that works with our bluebird feeders. That may be a good option if you’d rather mount it on a pole instead of hanging it.

The seller was a very kind business man with kindness😉 I've only had 3 separate purchases AND they were awesome 👌
I love covered bridges!! ♥️ Received our box , anxious to open & to my happy surprise! Well built, good size, super easy to install. Looking forward to the very many years of use with all of our different songbirds & others. Love it!!
Well, I cannot honestly say how the bluebirds are going to love it just yet because we’re running out now to buy some mealworms, but I am absolutely shocked at what a fabulous quality how well built how much larger than I thought it would be and it is absolutely fabulous construction looking forward to writing again when we have mealworms and see how our bluebirds enjoy the feeder! Very happy with the quality
