I’ve seen both bluebird and cardinal dads feeding their offspring after seeing them doing their “I am hungry” fluttering of wings and feathers. I once videoed a bluebird dad doing this outside my kitchen window. The male bluebird isn’t all that focused on his brood. One would come to my tray of dried meal worms, eat several then grab one or two to take back to the nest box.
