Mealworm dish

Placement

Give birds a safe approach.

Use an open spot near perches; a roof or cage can keep food dry and deter larger visitors.

Tradeoffs

Reaches birds seed may miss, but costs more and can attract starlings.

Maintenance

Make clean easy.

Offer small portions, clear leftovers, and wash the dish regularly.

If birds appear sick, pause feeding and follow current local wildlife guidance.
