Robins face food shortages in summer as dry soil forces earthworms deeper underground, making it harder for adults to feed themselves and their chicks. Experts recommend offering suitable foods such as mealworms, sunflower hearts and soft fruits while avoiding bread and hard scraps that can harm young birds. Hydrating dried mealworms, providing fresh water and keeping feeders clean can help robins cope with the challenges of warmer months.
