I am happy to say I don't have personal experience with bears. There has to be something that isn't lethal that deters them. I imagine it is difficult to get them to move on. Looking forward to a photo of your bluebirds. Truly hope they fare better than ours did.

The DNR suggested he not put out any more feed for the birds at all. He did and now has damage to a sliding door, grill, deck, furniture, and siding to the house. <br />He was then ordered to NOT feed the birds day or night. I don't know how it ended up as he was fighting with the DNR over it.<br />Bears will come and eat from feeders during the day too. <br />This fella created a real mess.<br />Val Ewinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11773318159420863765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-67430521113620732462021-06-28T08:04:14.623-05:002021-06-28T08:04:14.623-05:00I hope the bear decides to move on.
