Does it work now?
Yes!
As for the pictures, I didn't think the feathers on them would grow that fast! Can't wait to start seeing them trying to fly o:

Day nine. More flight feather growth. All three of them can open their eyes. They are more vocal, especially when being fed.

Why does it look like the robin is blind?

It's a Northern cardinal. It squeezed its eyes shut and pretended to be asleep because I was there, most likely listening to their father telling them to do so (he was nearby).

Oooo, I see now! That makes better sense!

Between the last photo taken and sometime before nightfall on day nine, one of the fledglings left the nest.
Day ten. All flight feathers are present. The second fledgling to leave the nest. Currently in the tree.
!
The same fledgling from before has left the nest and the tree.
!
Only one fledgling remains in the nest.
!
Update: The last fledgling died. I have no idea why. I buried it under the tree the nest is in, and placed a black rock over it as a tombstone.
Second update: The first fledgling that I thought left yesterday died as well. It never left the tree. I buried it next to its sibling. The black rock marks both of their graves.
Third update: Cause of death: Bird mites. Baby birds can't do anything against them. They'll leave the nest, just to get away from them, if the nest is infested. The first one probably tried that, but succumbed to them/the resulting anemia. The third one succumbed to them. There were too many. I picked it up, and dozens of them were everywhere, crawling on to my hand and arm.
