The present day meaning of the noun 'clew' is a word for a metal loop attached to the lower corner of a sail through which cords are passed; the cords from which a hammock is hung; a ball of thread or yarn. Based on these definitions of the noun, it not difficult to picture a group of worms that resemble a clump or ball of cord or yarn.
The present day 'clue' was originally spelled 'clew', and based on the same meanings of the word, it isn't difficult to imagine untangling (following) a cord to secure a sail or hang a hammock.

If you can't find worms, try jelly meat (yes, the cat food). Sugar water (or honey water) in small quantities is also good. To get the baby bird to open its mouth, touch the side of its mouth where beak hinges. Make sure bird is warm at night. Good luck!

Why did people not want to live on a collective farm?
An interesting question, but I'm not sure what region(s) you are referring to. In the United States, consumerism and governmental propaganda caused people to view the collective farming system with distaste- it was considered "un-American" to have no profit motive. In the Soviet Union, this question would greatly depend on the time period. During the Stalin era, collective farmers were put under enormous pressure to produce more crops than was actually possible. If the collective farmers failed to report massive increases in crop production, they (and possibly their families) would be killed, tortured indefinitely, or sent to the Gulag (slave labor camps, similar to concentration camps, in Siberia). However, following Premier Khrushchev's de-Stalinization campaigns, collective farms became much more hospitable. Although life on the collective farm was not exactly a Socialist paradise, it was far better than life under Stalin. Some people loved their lives on the collective farms in the 1960s; others did not enjoy the lifestyle. There are many examples of utopian attempts to create a collective farming system; however, many failed because of greed, which proves to be a very hard drive to erase completely. Following the Cuban Revolution, many people wanted to live on collective farms to help one another; others did not, because they simply were not interested by agriculture. Thus, the answer to your question varies depending on time period and region. Some people did want to live on collective farms, and others did not. I hope this helped.
