I read somewhere about using a electric bug zapper to collect insects to feed the birds. I've never owned such a device, and I don't know what the condition of the bugs were after the zap. Are they burned to a crisp, or would they be suitable for feeding? Anyone have any experience with bug-zappers?
It might be a way to get a wider variety of insects to feed instead of just using mealworms.
Thanks,
Mike

Thanks,

That is why I posted this question. I could get several zappers and see what happens, but that could get expensive after awhile. I don't want one that turns the insects to charcoal .it depends on what one you buy
Thanks,
