Bug’MmmsTM works better drawing birds to seed feeders than anything else we know of. One twelve-ounce bag blended into twenty five pounds of mixed seed dramatically increases bird visits to the feeder. This is a proprietary product on which we hold the original patent to make animal food by insect augmentation of puffed grain. For Bug’MmmsTM the grain is puffed millet. In its raw form puffed millet, known as “berries”, is rated at 4% crude protein. We produce liquefied insect from fresh larvae. This liquid is used to saturate the puffed berries which contain many crevices and cracks. As the drying berries shrink they enclose the insect particles. The product, now enhanced to 18% protein, is finish dried. Half of the treated berries are supplemented with Spirulina. The second ingredient for Bug’MmmsTM whole dried Musca domestica pupae which serve two functions, as nutritional element and as a source of ultraviolet reflectivity. Many birds are capable of detecting the UV reflectivity and it generally indicates a food source. This draws the birds to investigate the seed into which the product is blended at one twelve-ounce package per twenty-five pounds of seed mix.

PERFECT for Wild AND Caged Birds Just tried this at my indoor and outdoor feeders a few days ago – my birds are now obsessed!! This product infuses two fresh foods which happen to be birds’ favorite things; millet and insects. The fact that Skipio uses healthy bugs like musca domestica vs mealworms makes this product a must have in any aviary or outdoor feeder. Great source of protein for molting and breeding.
