Spring is on the way!

[Rockin Robin]

since birds start breeding in march i have decided to put out live mealworms for the first time. I got a mealworm feeder from cj's (the one with the roof) and have hooked it under my bird table. I put about 70 mealworms in it and i am hoping to get robins and blue tits visiting it. I bought the mealworms from birds bistro in penrudock which are a suplier of cj's goods, but i noticed they are stil selling feeders without the new perching rings. They gave me some good advice on storing mealworms, they said to put them in the fridge to keep them dormant and stop them turning into beatles.

Yeah, you don't want Ringo in your fridge now, do you? ;)

Good call on keeping them cool - also crush up some weetabix and give that to them if you intend keeping them for more than a few days, otherwise they'll starve - they're generally only shipped with 1 or 2 days' worth of food.
