Robins are loved in British gardens and need help in July to deal with the heat. They may not be seen often, but they are near, taking care of their nests and babies.

Robins need to find food more often to feed their babies, but it's hard when it's hot. The dry ground makes it hard for them to find worms.

Helping robins is a kind way to support local wildlife, but choosing the wrong food can be bad.

Robins have trouble finding worms in summer because the worms go deep into the ground when it's hot.

Danielle from Really Wild Bird Food says to be careful with fat balls in warm weather.

She says, 'Fat balls can be enjoyed by birds all year, but be careful in summer, especially when it's very hot.'

Robins like suet balls because they give them energy to find food.

However, suet balls melt fast and can make a mess, which is bad for robins.

The mess can stick to robins' feathers and make it hard for them to fly.

Suet balls can harm robins in July.

Robins need their feathers to stay cool, so any mess on them can cause heat stress.

Greasy feathers make robins hot and hungry, and can even kill them in heatwaves.

It's better to give robins dried mealworms, which can be found in pet shops or supermarkets.

Put mealworms in a feeder, on a table, or on the ground in a safe spot.

Mealworms have protein, which helps robins when they can't find worms or insects.

Soak dried mealworms in water to make them easy for robins to eat and stay hydrated.

Put mealworms in a safe spot, and robins will come to eat them.

The RSPB says to stop feeding birds between May and October to prevent disease. We should feed birds safely and at the right time. This helps keep them healthy.
