YUCKY, no, I didn't mean giving the birds spoiled cat food. I meant to have a mesh bag around it so the birds couldn't get to the cat food and the worms could fall out of the holes. Like... um... thin k of a tea ball.

My 8 baby quail took 5 days to go thru a gallon of feed , Im not shure if that tells you anything or not maybe you could devide a gallon by 8 then by 5 no idea I haven passed a math class scince 7th grade

lol dear for worms to get in teh bag the feed has to rot it would be pretty gross LOL. Flies lay eggs in smelly/moist areas....so it would take atleast a day for most flies to attract to it, then the maggots take something like a day to hatch...then they more than likely would take a while to bore ou tof the bag... the mmoist cat food would spoil with in a day.
