And sure have a LOT of crap.

I always wondered if they enjoyed that nice warm light bulb under them at night. Kind of like a redneck incubator. I figured the parents ate thousands of bugs feeding all three of them so they earned their rent in that spot.

Robins do eat bugs, but their main diet is worms.

Baby robins eat soft insects, earthworms, and regurgitated food. Their parents feed them up to 100 times a day because they grow very fast.

Feeding Stages and Diet
   •   First few days: Parents feed hatchlings soft, partly digested or regurgitated insects and worms.
   •   
   •   As they grow: Parents bring whole earthworms (broken into smaller pieces), caterpillars, beetles, grasshoppers, and spiders.

Robins eat soft foods like earthworms, insects, and berries. Their diet changes depending on the time of year.

Spring and Summer Diet
   •   Worms and Bugs: They eat many earthworms, beetles, caterpillars, and grubs to get protein.
   •   
   •   Soft Insects: They catch grasshoppers and spiders on the ground.
   •   

Fall and Winter Diet
   •   Berries: They shift to eating wild berries and small fruits like holly, dogwood, and juniper.
   •   
   •   Yard Foods: When bugs are gone, they may eat mealworms, suet, or chopped apples from the ground or tray feeders

Grasshoppers seem to be the main diet at the moment. The yard is adjacent to a large hayfield that is crawling with hoppers.
