The bowls attach with florist clay and pull right up after the season.. I mix the meal worms with the other seed and they blow less. I also mix with seeds and place in a mess basket bird feeder.
One winter the bluebirds wintered over in central WI. It was so freaky seeing them huddled over the heated bath. We threw meal worms in the water then to reconstitute them and the Bluebirds ate them all winter. The worms were really expensive then and I could find them only at the ritzy pet shop. $20 a pound then. Now they are at Walmart for $9
