Henry Bell Heavy Duty Mealworm Feeder

Mealworms spoil faster than seed once they're damp, which is a real problem for a feed that's usually put out specifically to attract insect-eating birds during the breeding season, when protein matters most. A base that drains properly is doing more work here than it would on a seed feeder.

This Henry Bell feeder is made of aluminium and finished in black, with an all-in-one base that gives birds extra perch space while collecting debris as they feed, and drainage built in to stop water pooling around the mealworms. A broad umbrella top sits over the top to add further protection from the weather.

• Aluminium construction, black finish
• All-in-one base with extra perch space
• Built-in drainage
• Broad umbrella top
• Collects feed debris as birds perch
• Easy to clean and refill

On the base size. Henry Bell don't publish the base capacity or overall dimensions on this card, so we can't tell you how many mealworms it holds at a fill, which matters if you're feeding through a busy breeding season with several birds visiting at once.

Who it's for: garden bird feeders wanting to offer mealworms specifically - useful for attracting robins, blue tits and other insect-eating species, particularly when they're rearing young.
