The worms, finding themselves inside an unfamiliar host, might lose their way in their migrations, as worms are wont to do, and cause horrible injury to the brain of the unicorn.
This would lead to all sorts of untoward behavior, including the lifting of dresses of maids and madames with its one true corn.
As unicorns are much beloved by innocent young girls (the sort who still wear dresses in this jaded age) it may be safely concluded that this does not occur on a regular basis, and that unicorns are not having relations with small birds.
I am sure unicorns do NOT have unnatural relations with small birds! (Or large ones.) I say the worms come from the shrubs.

Hmmmmm.............there's an interesting thought....

As to a question that has not been addressed -- unicorns do not require hoof-trims. Or, rather, they do not require assistance in trimming their hooves, having been the first to invent and use the Emery board.* They still are able to maintain a secluded and relatively comfortable existence from the earnings that came from the patent on said device. Unicorns are very frugal, and pinch pennies with their cloven hooves.
*Invention is popularly credited to one Wemery U. Nikorn. There was a typographical error in the patent application, and subsequent test-market research indicated that the public, by-and-large, preferred their abrasion sans W.
I like a man who knows the difference between innocence and not not guilt.
In what, prithee, do they hold thr emery board?

Of course he does.

Has anyone tried Unicorn Tequila? Quite good. The bottle has a snow-white unicorn standing on its hind legs and waving its front legs in the air and in the background you can see two swarthy Mexicans dudes sitting on a riverbank with their sombreros pulled down and their fishing lines in the water.
It is more acidic tasting than most tequila and delivers one hell of a kick. (no pun intended)
But I haven't seen the stuff in the liquor stores recently and until this thread came along I had forgotten about it.
There. They DO have worms. And thus, clearly, derived from the shrub layer. Ha!
