Kaytee Dried Mealworms (17.6 oz)

4/5 — Our Rating

Our Review

Dried mealworms are a high-protein treat that attracts insect-eating birds that don't normally visit seed feeders. Eastern Bluebirds, Carolina Wrens, and American Robins all love them. Offer in a shallow dish or platform feeder.

Why We Love It

Mealworms brought Eastern Bluebirds to our yard for the first time. They're also a hit with wrens and robins. If you want to diversify beyond seed-eating birds, mealworms are the way.

Our Tip
