I was wanting to know if anyone has an idea about how many mealworms is adequate for a pair of bluebirds with 4 nestlings and also how many times a day should I put some out? I can't seem to find an answer or any sort of idea and I don't want to make a mistake and over do it. I read that mealworms should only be given as a treat or if the weather is too bad for them to go look for food. It has been extremely hot here in NC and we've had a few thunderstorms and rain the past couple of weeks. I know it's rough on mama and daddy bluebird going non stop in the heat. I help them out occasionally but I don't know how many to put out. How many mealworms does it take to make each one of them full or at least sastified? Also, how many can a nestling eat a one time? I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks
