The birds love the meal worms. Seems to be good quality as the birds hang out waiting for me to add it to the feeders. Attracts Woodpeckers, Brown Thrasher, Wrens, Chickadees, and more. I also throw a handful on the ground for the possums in the winter. It's a yummy treat for them too.

Good meal worms for wild birds

I purchase these dried meal worms for some of my bird feeders and the birds eat them up eagerly. They are a bit cheaper than the ones from the specialty bird store

I purchase these dried meal worms for some of my bird feeders and the birds eat them up eagerly. They are a bit cheaper than the ones from the specialty bird store I sometimes buy from. Highly recommend these mealworms for wild birds.
