Silkworms

Silkworm pupae are a rich, high-protein treat that supports shiny feathers, good body condition, and steady laying—great during molt, cold weather, or for training.

Most options are dried: feed as-is, or soak a few minutes to soften for young birds. Some keepers also use live silkworms when available (they require mulberry leaves to grow). Keep treats to 10% or less of the diet, offer grit if birds eat whole insects, provide fresh water, and store pupae sealed and dry.
