the simple response would be to look up and to look down. ;)
i would go to an orchard, forest, hiking trail or maybe an arboretum and spend some time wandering around.

You shouldn't ignore the focusing, for example most bird's eye perspective is looking at a very far objects, so adjust infinity focus, while in the worm's eye, it depends on how far the object you are looking at, from macro to 7m maybe.
one thing also, in the bird's eye perspective, it is normal if you didn't show the sky, i mean all land. like this for example : http://www.usefilm.com/image/659461.html
while in worm's eye, i prefer you show the sky and objects seems huge

Get around some large animals and shoot from a low perspective...especially if you can get the animal to look directly into the camera. That's what a worm would "see"!!
Birds eye?---shots from a tree limb, tower, ladder, tall building??? Or, shot of a worm!! Then, get a picture of an open birds beak!!
Sorry, couldn't resist that last bit.
Good luck and have fun!!

I would suggest that "worm's eye" will involve a fish-eye or semi-fisheye view of the world from a very low view point and looking virtually straight up..
