What kind of birds eat mosquitoes? I’ve noticed an abundance of bluebirds this year, they are so darn cute. They are busy building a nest all around our house.
I was trying to look up what they eat and apparently it’s nothing that I can buy. Because I’m not going to go by meal worms! And Suet isn’t recommended until winter. I can give them some raisins. If I don’t, they might go scavenge a few blueberries I let live on my blueberry bushes.
Bats consume numerous mosquitoes each night.
You know, those birds that fly, wheel about on a dime, and fly at or less than tree level at dusk.
In the wild, they will roost under bridges, roof gables, and over-hangs; occasionally they are found in attics amid shrieks of horror.
I have read of bats consuming as many as 3,200 mosquitoes per night flight.
Bats act and live socially, and are not prone to live isolated; they thrive as a "community", and work and feed together.
Local bird seed and wildlife supply houses offer "Bat houses" for sale, to encourage the populations.
Since bats operate at dusk and throughout the evening, you might not even see them,
but you will notice the benefit of their presence with fewer mosquito annoyances.
