They sell dried mealworms at Walmart, he may like a few of those if you are headed in that direction.

I put out raisins. We tried the mealworms, but they didn't seem to "go over."

Watch out with the raisins.....They are poisonous to dogs as well as cats.

He looks so confused! Is there somewhere you can buy bird food for wild birds? Robins are such a beautiful bird.

Ditto with the meal worms! check online with any of the bird conservancy websites for appropriate and friendly ways to care of the off season bird.
