Robins are unlike other birds in that they will not consume bird food and live on a diet of invertebrate animals, such as grubs or fruits and berries.
You can feed baby robins at your home until they are ready to fend for themselves. Feed the baby robin mealworms, earthworms or grubs. Place the food onto the ground near an area that is well protected, such under a bush or near a thicket, and allow the baby to devour the meal. The baby will eat every 15 to 20 minutes during daylight hours so you may want to keep the bird to in an area that is fenced off from any predators. Cut up fruit and berries, such as strawberries, apples and blueberries.
The robins may wish to consume these fruits and berries later in the day near the end of its feeding time. Nail it up high in a tree as close to where you found the bird as you can; preferable the one it fell from.
Fill it with dry pine needles, straw, leaves, or even an old tee-shirt will do. Put the young birds in their new home and then get out of the way. Parents that are watching are looking out for predators. Related Articles.
