I am going to try dog food if it works so well.
Buy and try are my thoughts.

Hi Baz.

The thing is that once opened, a tin of dog food has to be used
within a couple of days so would, over time, work out more expensive
than meal worms, which would keep for longer. A robin will only scoff
a dessert spoonful a day. And it may be a couple of days before he
realises it's for him (or her).



You'll have trouble keeping the magpies off. They love the bits of
stale cat food that go out for the birds.
