As autumn sets in, one constant source of joy in your garden, apart from vibrant flowers, is the sight of robins. With their distinctive red breasts and charming nature, they bring a splash of colour to what can often be rather dreary days.

If you're keen to draw robins into your garden, food is the most crucial tool. Like any creature, tasty food is an excellent way to lure Robins to your garden, and there are certain delicacies they simply can't resist. According to bird experts at Beaky Bites, there's one common food they adore - sunflower hearts.

They asserted that sunflower hearts are "healthy options robins love". These foods supply the proteins and fats they require.

The experts added: "Sunflower hearts are particularly nutritious and are a robin favourite during breeding season. They are not only healthy but also very attractive to robins."

Feeding techniques are just as vital as the food itself. Using the right feeding techniques can make a significant difference in attracting robins to your garden, reports the Express.

You can present sunflower hearts by scattering them on the ground or in platform feeders.

Since robins like to feed on the ground, ground feeding trays are "the best method" to distribute food.

Robins favour ground feeding, which means they will feed from trays placed on the ground or directly off the ground itself amongst the grass. This is how they naturally feed and makes them feel more comfortable and safe.

In addition to sunflower hearts, suet pellets are an excellent food source for attracting robins. Particularly during the chillier months, suet provides the fat and energy robins require to stay warm and lively.

Suet can be presented in a variety of forms, such as suet balls and cakes, which are simple for the birds to consume and savour.

Mixing suet with sunflower hearts creates a nutritious and delicious meal for robins.
