Food for robins and other softbills

Not all birds are the same, and softbilled species like robins, song thrushes, and blackbirds have specific feeding needs. These birds struggle to crack open tough seed husks and prefer softer, protein-rich options. Many softbills also avoid tubular feeders, choosing instead to forage on the ground.

Our specially blended I Love Robins® food is the ultimate food for robins, offering a mix of soft, nutritious ingredients tailored to their diet. Pairing this robin feed with a ground feeding tray or an appropriate feeder will increase your chances of attracting robins and other softbills to your garden. For an extra treat, Live mealworms are an unbeatable source of easily digestible protein and remain a year-round favorite for robins. By offering food for robins and setting up the right feeding station, you can attract these birds to your garden.
