How This Fits Into a Typical Job

This product serves as a supplementary food source within a wild bird feeding routine. It is typically used alongside other bird foods to provide additional protein, particularly during periods of high energy demand like breeding and moulting.

The mealworms can be integrated into daily feeding schedules by adding them to existing feeders, mixing them with other seeds, or scattering them in designated feeding areas as part of regular garden wildlife maintenance.

How to Use

1. Preparation: Decide whether to use the mealworms dry or soak them in water for young birds. For soaking, leave them in a small bowl of water until softened.
2. Placement: Add the mealworms to your preferred feeder, scatter them directly onto the ground, or mix them with other bird food.
3. Feeding Schedule: To avoid waste and mould growth, only put out as much food as birds can consume in a day.
4. Monitor and Replace: Check feeders regularly, discarding uneaten or spoiled mealworms to maintain freshness.
5. Provide Water: Always provide clean, fresh water for birds near feeding areas.

Storage and Maintenance

• Keep the tub sealed and stored in a cool, dry location to preserve freshness.
• Regularly clean feeders and replace old food to prevent contamination.
• Monitor the product’s condition, ensuring it remains free from moisture and pests.
