American Robin

Robins can eat mealworms. In fact, they particularly enjoy them.

• When they see a worm, they strike.
• Hearing: As worms move about, they can hear them rub together, making noises. Birds have very acute hearing, however, and this sensory data is one aspect of how robins pinpoint the location of worms—offering mealworms in low-tray feeders or small dishes at a bird-feeding station. Robins, catbirds, bluebirds, and other worm-loving birds will appreciate the easy treat.
