It is quite likely that another species of bird threw the chicks out of the nest hoping to either claim the nest themselves or lay new eggs and have the robin hen take over the duties of an absent mother. Had it been a predator the chicks would have been eaten.

Sometimes babies birds are found dead right under the nest on the ground. 1~ Sometimes it's because the babies weren't being cautious 2~ or the father went off to find worms and the mother was watching the babies. While in that situation, the mother was distracted by some humans and swooped out of the nest to scare them away and the hatchlings fell out. 3~ or the babies were born too soon and died shortly after so the parents had to get rid of all of them If 2, they were in a tight and rare situation. If 3, they nested in a different spot probably because they didn't think the other spot was safe.

Can you move a robins nest with babies in it?

Nothing will happen. Trust me. When people say that if you touch a nest full of baby birds the mother will abandon it, its not true. Some people believe that or parents just say that to little kids to keep them from touching it. Mother birds will NOT abandon their young if you touch or even handle the chick. I know first hand because as a teen I wanted to become a vet and I hatched a robin egg. Once it hatched I put it back into its mothers nest. I watched the nest and she always came back. Even if I came close or even touched to check the chick I hatched. It eventually grew up and flew away. So, don't believe it if you touch baby birds that the mother will abandon it. Its NOT true!

Robins eat worms and worms hide in the ground and the ground is covered in snow so it is hard to get the worms. Robins also eat flowers and all the flowers are dead during winter so the robin can't eat that
