Pigeons like eating worm casting waste


A rather strange thing my pigeons very much like to do is eat the sludge that comes out of the tap of my tiger worm farms. They are well fed on grain and are actually quite fussy about what they eat. They've been doing this for many years with no noticeable ill effects, perhaps there is a benefit. Birds normally eat worms of course, which would include some castings still in the worms. Perhaps the remains of worms themselves are nutritious and attractive.
