some of this):

In the 1960's when I was at a private nursery school in the countryside the
owner hand fed a starling. You won't like this next bit....he purchased
maggots from a fishing shop, popped them in his own mouth, chewed them up
and spat them into a jam jar lid. Then he fed the mixture to the chick using
a matchstick or coctail stick


Coarse fishermen often warm up maggots in their mouths in cold
weather.



They are also very pleasant if you put one under the foreskin
