Here's some seeds for the robins! oops-I looked up food for robins and this is what I found:
Robins are not seed-eating birds. They feed on earthworms, their favorite food. They will eat from a bird table or at feeders with trays offering cut up raisins soaked in water, suet, suet mixtures, peanut butter mixtures, peanut hearts, cut up currants, pecan meats, sliced pears, strawberries, cherries, cottage cheese, and pieces of American cheese. They will also eat cooked plain spaghetti, doughnuts, white bread and cornbread.
If you have robins in your area and a sudden snowstorm comes up, the best thing you can do for them is to take a shovel and dig up a section of earth, turning over the soil to allow the robins to get worms. Raw hamburg, American cheese, and cooked spaghetti can also be offered at this time. Mealworms, available at pet stores and from the Duncraft catalog, are also appreciated.
