Mealworms for Robins

Mealworms for Robins

The robin is widely considered to be Britain's favourite bird, so it's no surprise that bird-lovers up and down the country are looking for ways to attract robins to their garden feeders. 

One sure fire way to get robins visiting your garden is to offer a selection of mealworms in robin-friendly feeders. Robins love worms, but when the ground gets particularly dry in summer, earthworms can be hard to reach, so it's a good idea to supplement their food with mealworm treats during the warmer months!

Mealworms From Really Wild Bird Food

Robins tend to feed on insects (especially beetles) and earthworms. If you want to help supplement your local robin's food source, the closest thing to natural earthworms is live mealworms. Live mealworms have a similar protein and moisture content to earthworms, making them a great alternative for robins to feed on. 

Not only do mealworms have a delicious flavour that is irresistible to robins, they are also very high in protein and a great source of energy for wild birds!

Dried mealworms are great as they are convenient to keep and have a much longer storage life than live mealworms. Plus, you can soak your dried mealworms in water for around 30 minutes before putting them out as an easy way to help your local birds stay hydrated.
