Bring nature closer to your garden with this nourishing feast for wild birds.

Freeze-dried to preserve vital nutrients, these mealworms offer a wholesome treat that supports bird health and encourages frequent visits to your feeder.
Ideal for species like blackbirds, robins, finches, dunnocks, and wrens, this 5 litre bag provides ample supply for year-round feeding. While excellent for wild birds, they are not suitable for hedgehogs or poultry such as chickens.
