Habits and economic status: The
bluebird Is one Of the most familiar
tenants of the farm and dooryard.
Everywhere it is hailed as the har-
binger of spring, and wherever 1t
chooses to reside it is sure of warm
welcome This bird, like the robin,
phoebe, house wren, and some swal'
lows, Is very domestic in its habits.
Its favorite nesting sites are crannies
in the farm buildings or boxes made
for its use. or natural cavities In old
apple trees. For rent the bird pays
amply by destroying insects, and it
takes no toll from the farm crop. The
bluebird's diet consists Of 6S per cent
of insects to 80 per cent Of vegetable
matter. The largest items Of insect
food are grasshoppers first and beetles
next, while caterpillars stand third.
All Of these are harmful except few
Of the beetles. The vegetable food
consists chiefly of fruit pulp, only an
insignificant portion Of which Is Of cul-
tivated varieties. Among wild fruits
elderberries are the favorite. From
the above 1t will be seen that the blue
bird does no essential harm, but on
the contrary eats many harmful and
annoying insects.
