If you can't find some locally you can buy housefly pupae from frogs.org.au

Jenk you can feed pupae out to your birds,just be careful that if they are dead that will go off very quickly at ambient temperatures.Also,it might take your birds a while to know what they are because they don't wiggle. Craig

They start emerging before they get to you, I found most of my birds ignored the maggots, but the Wrens & Woodswallows love the pupae, & the Honeyeaters would wait till they emerge & pick them off. In saying that, I have access to a handy supply of termites
