I got a group of seven sparrows that came in while we were in Florida, and I needed some mealworms to feed them, so I experienced my first "harvest". I don't have a lot of worms that are the size we usually feed to birds, so I picked some out of the bedding with bird-feeding forceps. I felt kind of bad, since these worms are sort of like pets to me and here I go, letting another creature eat them, but that's why I raised them! I guess I'll get used to it. I've got to read some more and figure out a better way to harvest them. Here's a picture of my first crop.
