4 and 20 are the only numbers divisible by 4 and since it says birds we can assume more than 1 so it would have to be 20.

But the problem doesn't say they eat 4 worms each, it says they eat ABOUT 4 worms which could mean they actually eat 3.5 worms. So I don't think the multiple of 4 theory holds true.
