Every morning a couple of robins hop into my kitchen and enjoy the few
crumbs of bread I toss on the mat for them. I'm wondering if there is
anything more tasty I could offer my visitors - or maybe I shouldn't
encourage them to feed food they haven't snapped up - naturally - from
the garden?

Any advice will be appreciated.

Robins just love mealworms. They are available by mail order from CJ
wildbird
foods at http://www.birdfood.co.uk/ They keep perfectly well in their
tubs in the fridge. If you don't keep them
cold they turn into flies :-)

Beetles, actually.
