We are excited to now offer live mealworms! Feeding live
mealworms is a very special treat to offer not only your bluebirds,
but a variety of other birds as well. Many birders believe
that live mealworms are only for bluebirds, but this is not true.
Many bird species eat live mealworms,
including
finches, cardinals, woodpeckers, wrens, titmice, robins, blue jays,
sparrows, nuthatches, chickadees, and also purple martins!
Mealworms are the larvae of mealworm beetles. Tenebrio molitor,
as they are technically known, are a species of the darkling beetle.
They have a very high amount of protein and are very palatable to
birds. Our beetle's are on a strict diet of fresh cereal and
vegetables, so they are a safe food source for your bluebirds and
other birds as well.
Mealworms are a primary food choice of bluebirds and our live mealworms are an all-natural,
high protein, high energy mealworm product that your bluebirds will
love. Also, our live mealworms are excellent for a variety
of reptiles, including sugar gliders!
Mealworms can be offered from just about any bird feeder.
Most birds will eat mealworms right from a dish on the ground.
Live mealworms will keep for several weeks with proper storage
and instructions are included with every order. Live
mealworms also work well with tray feeders, platform bird
feeders, and even our
Supper Dome Feeder!
NOTE: Because of the hot weather in some parts of the country,
live mealworm orders may be delayed until weather permits.
Overnight
shipping is available upon request, but please contact us first
so we can provide shipping cost information. In the meantime,
you may want to select some of our
DRIED Mealworms
To-Go or
Dried Roasted Waxworms. We apologize for this
inconvenience, but we want you and your birds to be happy with your
live mealworm order!
Many non-seed-eating songbirds are declining in number because
of the loss of breeding habitats and lack of food. By
offering live mealworms to insect-eating birds, you will help to
ensure their survival in the wild.
Here's a Hot Tip from your friends at Nature's Wild Bird
Food!!
Are
you frustrated with not being able to get your supplies of live
mealworms? Add a dash of cold press extra virgin olive oil
to dried mealworms for re-hydration and they look "life like!"
Also, the cold press olive oil is tasteless, has lots of
anti-oxidants, plus amino acids, and never goes rancid.
But more important, cold press extra virgin olive oil is
expelled (unlike Canola oil) from the host organism. NOTE:
Please allow time for the birds to adjust - it might take a day
or two.
