Honestly, post not as bad as it sounds!

We have all read about what our birdies might eat in the wild including live bugs and things, today, as usual Danny was at work with me and we were packing up some mealworms (sold as livefoods for wild birds, chickens, lizards and things) now my previous Tag would throw a fit at anything that moved but Danny has always shown remarkably little concern or interest in other living things so I thought I would see what his reaction to a mealworm would be, this was not some perverse idea of fun it's just that we do have some escapees of our stock and would be happier knowing how Danny would react if he should ever be on his own and spot the odd one making a break for it across the floor! anyhow, gently showed him a mealworm, little reaction but curious, he decides to have  closer look, now this mealworm is moving around on my hand so Danny calmly picks it up and with no further ado - eats it! so the question arises does anyone else let their birdies eat such things? would it be recommended? be interested in your views.

Preening is fine, pruning is not!

Full of natural goodness, best eaten as grubs as they pupate into horrible great beatles if they escape

My Owa reached up above his cage and caught and ate some beestie!!!  At least it wasnt a bluebottle thank god.
