Yes I am using dried mealworms. Some of the experienced folks around here say they prefer live mealworms but they don’t mind the dried. You can also put them in a bowl with a little water to moisten them.
They also eat “no mess” nut mixes out of a standard feeder if the mealworms are gone. But the mealworms in a platform feeder were key to attracting them in the first place. I didn’t see any until then.
A blue bird house also helps during nesting season. We put one up this past winter and they took right to it!
Couple of notes: the worms also attracted starlings and they are ravenous. They’ll come in packs and eat all the worms up. Not everyone has this experience though. A friend does the same here but doesn’t see any starlings. That’s why the nut mix is a good backup food source.
Worms also attract other bully birds like cow birds and mockingbirds, blue jays occasionally eat them, but I find them much friendlier than the starlings. They let the other birds eat too.
Here are links to what I feed them. Bulk is the way to go because local stores charge 5X as much for smaller quantities. This 5 pound bag lasted me 2-3 months, until the hungry babies arrived. They keep raising the price, was $30, then $33 now $37.

This nut mix has smaller pieces than the local stores so there’s better feeder flow, no clogs from the larger pieces. Plus it attracts so many other birds too! Just make sure you have a squirrel proof feeder :)

Let me know if you have any more questions. It’s been interesting to see the variety of birds that comes during the seasons!
