when you give worm away to the birds in their water do you leave it in all day or just for a little while?
thanks

All day, cuz you can't be sure that the bird will drink water in a certain period of time. All day ensures that they drink. One trick that I learned was to remove the water at lights out, that way they have to drink what you give them in the morning. Or if the medication will last overnight, put the medicated water in at night.
