Robins and other songbirds are largely insect-eaters by instinct, which is why a seed mix aimed at them tends to include something a general finch mix doesn't bother with — a handful of dried mealworms among the grain.

Bestpets Robin & Songbird combines pinhead oatmeal, kibbled maize, red millet, sunflower hearts and kibbled peanuts with mealworms, in a mix the brand says is formulated for songbirds and suitable for seed feeders. Their own feeding guidance is to keep food available year-round, including through breeding and fledgling periods, refresh the supply every day or two, keep water available, and remove old or wet food promptly to stop mould or bacteria building up.

On the balance of ingredients. Bestpets don't publish what proportion of the mix is mealworms against seed, so treat "with mealworms" as an added ingredient rather than a stated ratio — the mix is still seed-based in bulk.

Who it's for: anyone whose garden regularly sees robins, wrens or other insect-leaning songbirds and wants a mix pitched at them specifically, rather than a general all-comers blend.
