Even
the hungriest robin doesn't normally eat birdseed. Robins can't
digest
seeds, and their beaks are not built for cracking. However, a very smart, very hungry robin that has observed other birds at feeders can learn to try birdseed! Instead, you
could
buy mealworms at a pet store for your hungry winter robins.
