    I used to buy mealworm for the garden birds, and I can confirm this warning is needed. I used to get told off by one bird if I took too long giving him his worms.

    Here he is:

    This is true for a very not obvious reason:

    People who ignore the sign are disobedient and therefore suspicious. That’s why they send all available drones to that person to intimidate them.

        I bought this quantity of super worms for my turtles…

        And omg it’s so much. It’s like a 5gallon bucket full of dehydrated crawlies. I wish I could get that quantity of dried river shrimp, but so so so much more expensive.

        Anyway, I have no idea what I’m going to do with them… I doubt my little 3 inch turtle is going to be able to consume them in the max 10 years he has left… (I had two when I bought them, but the big female died a few months later. No idea what happened, but they were halfway to their max lifespan at the time, and she deteriorated too fast to do anything about it, so…) so I guess feeding them to crows might be a good bet. Get me a corvid following. I’ve always wanted a minion army.

          If you have any parking nuisances, throw a handful of mealworm on their car at night. The early bird will get the worm, and the car will be covered in bird shit.

          I think you’d be doing us all a great favour, if you took a large bucket outside, and opened it up.

          Get back to us ?

        “Any cool things you got on sale on Black Friday?”

        “Oooh yeah, 5kg of mealworms!”

        “The, wha, why…?”

        “AAAAAAHH! Haha”

    Can confirm. I opened this post outside, and was immediately swarmed. The last thing I saw before my eyes were pecked out was someone bearing a strong resemblance to Alfred Hitchcock…
