    Our daily ritual has been to soak a jar of mealworms for the caged ground feeder The Starling numbers have increased and they appear to still be feeding their fledgings which is fun to watch!

    We now have magpies regularly feeding on the mealworms - they have worked out how to get them from the small bird feeder. Robins, blue tits and sparrows love them too

    Birds feeding young whilst it has been so dry and no worms or moisture containing natural food available have relied on me supplying soaked mealworms for their survival.

    These are really useful because when briefly soaked they are acceptable to the birds and avoid the faff of maintaining live ones. They are also a great addition to home-made fat blocks.

    Well, what can I say? My local Robin absolutely loves these dried meal worms and his as a bird friends tuck in as well Service from Vine farm is always excellent. Sometimes you can buy cheaper but not as good. There is never any waste.

    Well package and look to be in excellent condition. The few birds we get seem to love them so I am hoping that they will "spread the word" around.

    Smelling fresh and meaty. Added to the Ultimate Energy Suet mix we have a very popular bird table. Within seconds of feeding this morning about 20 starlings arrived, having been completely absent for years.

    Good product, very fresh, and better value than other suppliers. I mix one packet into a large quantity of their wild bird mix, and it goes a long way. Mind you, as the temperature lowers, the birds are eating more! I'm a fairly new customer, but I will stick with Vine House, I'm very impressed with them.

    These have been very popular with our blackbirds, robins and young starlings. I'd recommend putting them in a bowl on a bird table to stop them blowing away. We use a terracotta plant saucer.

Dried mealworms are the non-live equivalent of live mealworms. Mealworms are the larvae form of the darkling beetle, which many commonly refer to as the mealworm beetle. Insects and other invertebrates are an important food source for many species of wild bird.

Some people are put off live worms because of their wriggle; in this case, dried alternatives are a good option. Dried mealworms offer a similar amount of fat and protein as live mealworms, but without the wriggle. If you are choosing to feed dried mealworms to birds, it is important that you soak them in water before you put them out in your garden. This will provide birds with much-needed moisture, which is naturally present in live mealworms. 

Insects are an excellent addition to your bird food selection. Live food is often left out of gardens, which means people can miss out on seeing several ground-feeding species of garden birds

When choosing your wild bird food, it is important to have a diverse range of food sources available in your garden or feeding area. This will attract more species of wild bird into your garden. For best results, we recommend including dried mealworms in your garden alongside other types of bird food. These could include straight seeds like sunflower seeds or sunflower hearts, seed mixes, suet pellets and suet fat balls, and peanuts.
