I have posted things for a couple of other people. You should prolly take care of the babies now. I know you posted this on 6/12 and now its 6/17. Robins are know for eatting worms. Catch some nightcrawlers, or sometimes you can buy worms at gas stations, they sell them for fishing. Try using forceps to feed them, this kind of simulates how the mother would. Be careful if you try and feed it water, that can be dangerous. They can drown, but if you are feeding it worms that shouldn't be a problem. Worms give the bird enuogh water. If you are keeping the birds inside and you have AC be careful. They might get cold. You can put a lamp on them, just make sure its not too hot. Hope this helps! If you have more questions e-mail me. I will try to help if I can!? My boyfriends a biology major, and knows a ton about birds.
