Hope everyone is in good health ❤️🐥 I found dried mealworms in an online pet store, is it something that our birds need? I would appreciate any kind of input

They do need protein especially when molting. I have read that the protein can come from a number of sources. Most people here tend to use egg, either fresh cooked egg or a commercial egg food. I have read that meal worms are ok but I'll leave it to the more experienced/knowledgeable people to comment. I feed my guys boiled, chopped eggs about once a week and daily when they are molting.

It isn’t something specific that they need. Budgies are seed eaters not insectivores. There’s no harm in offering them, but good luck getting them to eat them.

I've tried my boys a couple of times with mealworms, they never touched them.
