Bought from a reliable source.
Dried Calciworms (black soldier fly larvae) are a highly nutritious food for wild birds.
They are rich in protein and offer a calcium content of up to 10 x higher than dried mealworms, making them excellent for supporting strong bone development, feather growth, and, crucially, egg production in breeding birds.
A beneficial all-year-round food, especially for blackbirds, robins and starlings.
They can be fed dry however we would recommend soaking them for around 15 minutes to improve hydration for birds and prevent choking hazards in young birds.
Can be mixed with Sunflower Hearts or other seeds to provide a balanced diet. Ideal for feeding in our Universal Ground Feeder.
Please note: This product is stored in an environment where peanuts are kept.
All my visiting birds enjoy these mealworms. My magpies have even learnt how to hover as they are in an enclosed ceramic ball. With a small opening.
Hello, we're so glad to hear that your visiting birds are loving the dried calciworms! It sounds like they are getting quite the workout while trying to access them in the enclosed ceramic ball. Thank you for sharing your experience with us!
seemed to be appreciated by the birds during the hot weather when invertebrates scarce
Hi Catherine, we're glad the birds enjoyed the Calciworms, especially during the hot weather! Thanks for sharing your review.
Just like the suet pellets, these are really popular, particularly with the blackbird and robins. As recommended I soaked them first, which I presume will be better if fed to chicks. They do have quite a strong smell but as I keep them in the shed, this isn’t a problem.
