JACKPOT!


Sylvia and Lloyd have hit the Jackpot and are very lucky to be nesting and raising the future leaders of the bird world in my backyard! They have finally discovered the giant mealworms I put out for them. They seem to be able to RELAX! a bit in between feedings. The babies seem pretty happy and I haven't heard any complaints yet....
I don't know, call me crazy, but I would think a mealworm would be a little easier to swallow and digest than a squirming, multi-limbed, winged, big-eyed, sharp little feet-having, big ole' crunchy beetle! Wouldn't you think? I have never personally eaten either, but it might be like the difference between a Godiva chocolate truffle and a sprig of broccoli. Hmmm.....You be the judge!
