Mealworms offer wild birds a valuable, high-protein food source, particularly beneficial during breeding seasons and warmer months when birds need more energy and moisture. Mealworms are the larvae of the Flour Beetle and are made up of around 50% protein and 50% water, making them one of the most protein-dense and hydrating feed options for wild birds. Mealworms are packed full of essential nutrients like fat, fiber, and water, and are key for muscle development. They also encourage natural foraging behaviors, leading to increased breeding success in some wild bird species.
