He can't relax with a scrub jay around. One time Dave and I were on the front porch all ready to go and he sat up in the wisteria a few feet away hollering like mad.

The only problem with mealworms is that they don't tolerate extreme cold so timing and and a close watch of weather forecasts is necessary.
