An absolute favourite food for Robins, Blackbirds and many more, Dried Mealworms offer your feathered friends a protein boost they’re all searching for. These worms are great fed all-year round, helping to support hungry chicks in the spring whilst providing a much needed protein source in the winter when insects are scarce.

More Information

Dried Mealworms have always been a popular food to feed our garden birds, and for good reason. These worms provide a protein boost unlike any other food we provide them, and protein is a very important nutrient when you are small bird looking to survive our harsh British weather.

Mealworms are best fed from a bird table or scattered on the ground to allow access to all species of birds. Robins and Blackbirds adore Mealworms, yet they’re reluctant to use hanging feeders, hence why we recommend feeding Dried Mealworms this way. However, specialised Mealworms feeders are available, or mixing them in a seed mix can also allow these worms to be fed from a hanging feeder. Our Gourmet Blend comes ready-mixed with Mealworms included, saving you the hassle of mixing them yourself.

Dried Mealworms have often been referred to as a spring and summer food only, helping adult birds feed their chicks during this very busy season. However, providing Mealworms during winter is just as important, if not more so, than in the spring due to the lack of insects during these months, making it very difficult for birds to find enough protein. Henceforth, we recommend offering Dried Mealworms to your garden birds all-year round to support them with enough protein whatever happens.

During the nesting season, it is advised to soak Dried Mealworms in warm water before providing them to your birds. This is to rehydrate the worms so when fed to chicks within the nest (who are dependant on water within insects brought by the parent) they have enough water within the worm so that they don’t dehydrate the chick.

Bird party

Having recently retired and put up some bird feeders i found Gala by accident. Since then have bought many bags of bird food and now delight in watching the daily bird fight to devour the food before it runs out. Now refilling at least once per day. Wife thinks i have finally lost it!!
Highly recommend the Gala guys who are friendly and know their stuff.
Do not go anywhere else !
