If your birds will eat them they are great and easy. Some people have allergic reactions to them though.

I use freeze-dried bloodworms - expensive but worth it.

PS - I will move this to food/nutrition as it doesn't belong in the Housing forum.

Could you use the same kind you feed to fish, or do you have to get a different kind?

I use freeze dried bloodworm for my firefinches, cuz I refuse to deal with live worms in the house.
