You can feed your garden birds with mealworms all year round, but remember, mealworms are a treat, so should be fed no more than twice a day to ensure a mixed diet. Simply sprinkle some of the worms on a tray or bird table. Laying them out helps the birds spot the wiggling and easily get to them.You can also mix them up with other bird food in your hanging bird feeder. Generally a good bird feeder for mealworms should have sides that are tall enough so the mealworms don’t crawl out and that there is rain cover with drainage holes, such as bird feeders with lids or squirrel-resistant domes. Your mealworms will arrive in a recyclable paper sack, which should be reclosed after each use or you can move them into a lidded plastic tub. Mealworms can easily be stored in a garage or utility room because they are clean and odourless. They keep well at room temperature. However, if you wish to store them for longer you can transfer them to the warmest part of your fridge (away from the icebox).
