Tri-State Bird Rescue

Today I went with my RE group to a bird rescue place. We didn't see any birds, just the places where they kept the birds.  We were helping them get ready for the spring "rush."
One thing I did was make meal-worm substance. Yes, it might sound gross, but the only thing in it that might be gross is ground Guinea-Pig pellets. The fact is that we need to feed the worms special food because the people need to know what they are putting into the birds. The birds eat the meal-worms, who eat the substance. If you ever have to feed meal-worms (which probably won't happen!) here is the recipe.

Meal-Worm Substance

1 cup ~ Wheatena

1 cup ~ Oat Bran

1 cup ~ Yellow Cornflower

1/2 cup ~ Ground Guinea-Pig or Rabbit pellets

1 ~ Ziplock bag (per all ingredients)

Pour the ingredients into bag. 

Grind the pellets until there aren't any chunks.

Add that to the bag and mix the bag up until thoroughly mixed.

Feed to meal-worms!

 To the meal-worms - enjoy! 

I enjoyed my trip there. I really learned a lot. One of the things I learned was that even though humans have a good intention of feeding baby birds, it isn't a good thing. The birds won't migrate, because they think that they can get food from the fishers. When the fishers leave, the birds would die from hunger. =( That would be a shame. 

At the bird rescue, the people help the birds a best as they can. And they try to release them where they found them. If they can't, they try to find a similar place. 

I hope I gave you some interesting information!
