Feeding Robins
The message
from Albertine contains these words:
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?
My aunt used to have a tame robin who was partial to grated cheese.
They are supposed to like live mealworms (from birdfood suppliers) but I
can't say ours took much interest in them. Ours prefer worms and are
always underfoot when I'm digging.
Janet.
