    We have a bunch of magpies around here. They absolutely love mealworms. I would leave a dog food bowl of them out and they disappear within an hour or two. I couldn’t keep up.

      Lol I never thought about anything else other than like seeds and bread, I might have to try that. That’s typically sold at pet stores for like pet reptiles right?

        Yeah, you should be able to find them there. I don’t know about all birds, but bread is usually not great. Not a lot of nutritional value while at the same time filling them up. Mealworms were the easiest to find and provided them with more of what they needed.
