Picked up a mealworm and it MOVED! He then put it in the nest to build with The others have found out they are food but this guy... He looks offended when the bedding moves

That's cute. I love it when they get surprised by something. I have a picture of one of my Socie boys looking at a fruit fly. Lets see if I can find it.

Lovezebs - funny picture! All of mine were looking like that at their carrots this morning. Carrots! They love grated carrots. But I put it on a paper plate, that they eat from, but not often, and sprinkled a few poppy seeds on it for a treat. They were terrified of their carrots on a suspicious plate - and with spots! You'd think I tried to poison them on a regular basis. I finally took it out, washed the regular dish and put it in that, and eventually they ate some of it, reluctantly, but they usually clean it out. I got the message. Tan dish. No poppy seeds.

They like fruit fly's too? Consider them ordered! I used to feed them to my bettas, but I kinda got tired of them... But hay, anything for the birds! The little pied finally decided to eat a worm, they where a bigger hit with the spice boys. I have got to get them some lady friends

You may need to check the nest in a bit, if he is dropping mealies into the nesting material they will eventually go through the life cycle and change into black beetles...my Red Headed finch male did this, I thought they were eating them....about a week or so later I bumped the nest box to take a peek inside for eggs and a bunch of black beetles emerged from the bedding.

Finch bed bugs!

Lol he figured it out, I doubt his eggs are live, noone is sitting tight. And everyone uses THAT nest, there are four in there!
