Why are you so opposed the birds getting these worms?

I used to save big,fat worms and drop them off with my neighbor who had turtles. They loved delicious fat worms.

Here is a turtle story: My neighbor let her turtles sun themselves on her roof deck, top of a
Victorian 3 story house. Very high! One of them disappeared one day. She looked for him, could not find him. She theorized he fell off the roof, broke his shell, and died.

Then my neighbor moved to another state.

Winter came and went. One day a neighbor asked us if we had lost a turtle because they found one with human marks indicating he was someone’s pet. He was strolling down our street when she saw him. We knew that turtle! We took him in and gave him to another neighbor who kept turtles at her country place.

We let his original owner know he was found, safe and sound, and had a good home.
