I began feeding the blue birds meal worms in the fall by putting the worms
on white lids from 5 gallon pails. We have
had some rain lately and water pools on the lids, making a problem. I
bought a small seed feeder and put the meal
worms in it and the blue birds are going to the feeder and taking the
worms. They can see the meal worms inside the
clear plastic of the seed feeder, that has drain holes to keep water from
pooling. So far, so good. I keep the meal
worms in a plastic container with oats that are couple inches deep in
the cotainer (old cat litter plastic container).
The meal worms were purchased on line.........(rainbow meal worms). I did
hang the seed feeder in a small tree that
was just above one of the lids that they had gotten use to feeding
from. Larry in Whitley City Ky.

Dear Roger:
Here on the Tennessee River in Northwestern Alabama we have a question. A
friend has a hydroponic and organic farm and has put out several blue bird
boxes which were very successful this summer; each one had a couple of broods.
But, the birds appear to be staying for the winter and he is worried that they
will have problems finding food. Do you have any suggestions about feeding
them? There are at several birds that still sit at the end of the rows on
poles where vegetables used to be growing and the bugs were available for
feeding. Now there is little for them to eat. Do you have any ideas about
what should be done? Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks a lot,
Bonnie
