why do earthworms go on the top of the soil ofter a rainfall?

smi.org.uk
Less cultivation encourages beneficial insects (beetle and spider predators) as well as allowing the build up a larger earthworm population and biomass. Shallower cultivation/ direct drilling keeps trash on the soil surface which helps to stabilise soils and also builds soil health and structure which can reduce the risk of soil erosion if done correctly.

Can I give my starling earthworms?

Frequently Asked Questions about European Starlings
When I first found my starling (rescued him from the neighbor's cat), he had gape worm (worms in his trachea, that caused him to cough). My vet cleared up the gape worm and the feather lice with Ivermectin. Earthworms are listed as an intermediate host for gape worm, so I wouldn't feed earthworms to my starling. I have fed him mealworms and crickets from a pet shop, and also garden spiders from a yard that I know isn't sprayed with any pesticides.
