Feeders for Robins
Open trays, dishes and dome feeders for the nation's favourite bird. Robins feed low and bold - these are built the way they like it.
About our feeders for robins
Bird feeders for robins work with the robin's habits rather than against them. Robins rarely cling to hanging tubes - they are ground and perch feeders, happiest on an open tray, a table edge or a dish with a clear landing spot. This collection gathers the formats robins actually use: low ground tables, open trays, dome-covered dishes that shut out starlings, and coconut and suet feeders hung low with a perch in reach. Pair the right feeder with the right food and you will have a regular within the week - mealworms are the fastest way to a robin's heart, with suet pellets and sunflower hearts close behind. Feed at the same time each morning and your robin will learn the schedule; plenty come to wait on the fence when the back door opens. There are few better reasons to put the kettle on.

Feeders for Robins - FAQs
What food do robins like best?
Mealworms, by a distance - dried or live. Suet pellets, sunflower hearts and grated mild cheese are also favourites. Serve them low, on a tray or dish, rather than in a hanging tube.
Why won't robins use my hanging feeder?
Robins are not built for clinging - their feet and feeding style suit flat surfaces. Offer the same food on an open tray or ground table and the robin that ignored your tube will be there in days.
Are robins really tame?
They are famously bold with people. Feed at a regular time and many robins learn the routine, waiting nearby as you top up. Some, with patience over weeks, will eventually take mealworms from a hand.
