Robin Hood is a fictional character, what you got is an American Robin.

American Robbin I thought was kosher?

 So it seems a Robbin is the only Bird with blue Eggs?

European is the standard, Israel is full of then and people eat them. 100% Kosher.

 While American there's no mesorah so we don't eat it.

14 days they incubate the eggs, and they lay between 3 and 6 eggs. Interesting..

Any chance the bird will come back after I pick up the eggs to do the mitzvah? Will a glove help from leaving a human scent?

Robins usually do. Sparrows ussually don't even if you use gloves.

American Robin comes back

(yes, mafkir'd it first)
now we have babies!
Got the Shiluach Hakan Halachos from R Naftali Weinberger (for ex. https://www.amazon.com/Shiluach-Hakan-Practical-Naftali-Weinberger/dp/1583302999)
he also emailed a Kitzur

Yes, arriving today.(Was supposed to arrive Sunday, got delayed, $10 credit... :) )
Arrived. Assembled. Installed. Looks beautiful. Now how do we inform the guests? They're in the area, but not approaching the feeder.

Fill it up and wait, simple as that. It may take a few days or a week, but they'll find it.

Epic. Now I'm tempted to make a setup just for squirrels. It'll be a roller-coaster tycoon in real life!
