Dried Calciworms, the larvae of the Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia Illucens), stand out in the realm of bird nutrition. These larvae boast an impressive calcium content, approximately 50 times higher than other insects or worms, positioning them as a superior supplement to premium quality wild bird feeds. The high calcium concentration in these Calciworms plays a pivotal role in various critical biological functions. It's essential for the maintenance of a robust skeletal system, crucial for birds during their growth and throughout their lives. Additionally, calcium is vital for egg development, ensuring healthy and strong offspring. It's also important for muscle contraction and nerve impulse transmission, contributing to the overall well-being and agility of birds. Beyond calcium, Dried Calciworms aid in the absorption of phosphorus, another essential mineral for birds, particularly in your garden. Their high protein and fat content make them not only nutritious but also highly palatable to a wide range of bird species. Feeding Dried Calciworms throughout the year is recommended, especially during the challenging winter months and the critical nesting season in spring. During these times, the extra nutrition supports birds in maintaining their health and assists in the demanding process of raising their young.
