Answer 1

British worms

Answer 2

I have two that have nested in my window box under the kitchen window, and now have four chicks. I feed the Robins with wild bird seed and seed specifically for Robins, which includes insects and meal worms, they also eat berries and earth worms.

Answer 3

"Feeding

The Robin's diet is principally insects and worms, which it will normally catch by swooping, that is to say, snatching its prey on the ground after watching for movement from a perch above. They will also often follow a gardener that is digging the soil over for any easy pickings (see Feeding).

In the garden, the Robin has a sweet tooth and often takes cake, especially fruit cake, coconut cake and uncooked pastry. At other times, sunflower hearts are eaten. Mealworms are a firm favourite, which they will often take from the hand." http://www.garden-birds.co.uk/birds/robi...

In autumn and winter, robins will supplement their usual diet of terrestrial invertebrates, such as spiders, worms and insects, with berries and fruit.[22] They will also eat seed mixtures placed on bird-tables.[20]  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Ro...
