For the bird lover: Mealworms will attract the following birds Bluebirds, Pine Warbler, woodpecker, wrens, orioles, titmice, chickadees, nuthatches, and many more. They prefer their food live! Especially bluebirds we have quite a few that wait near the feeders in the morning. Babies call nearby for the parents to feed them. It is truly an amazing sight to watch.
For the reptile lover: Mealworms can readily be fed to your reptiles. We feed them as a treat to our panthers chameleons as a part of their varied diet. When selecting your feeders keep in mind that variety is key to a healthy animal.
