For several years my wife would buy live waxworms especially for the bluebirds and put them in a dish on the deck. This also attracted the Carolina Wrens, which we enjoy their attitude and songs. My wife's proudest day was when she coax a wren into taking a waxworm from her hand. The mockingbirds would come bully the others and eat the waxworms, so I built a little house with screen sides that swung open and holes sized for bluebirds on each end. This excluded the mockingbirds, the wren figured it out right away, it took the bluebirds a little longer.
