I've been hanging about on here for a while, well years but I have no idea about the origins of the "Baby Robin" joke.
Can someone enlighten me?
(I've just had a look at the Urban Dictionary definition - please tell me that the STW and Urban Dictionary Baby Robins are not one and the same)
Ta.
First time I saw it was iDave's thread about his dog. I guess that ain't the origin then?
Origin is someone posting a pic of a, well a Baby Robin and asking what it was, there was one maybe 2 wild guesses and then a few correct ones posted within seconds of each other. After that the every post was 'Baby Robin'.

Thanks for clearing that up.
It's one of those old-timers' little in-jokes...
Also "own with bombers" comes to mind and a few other supremely unfunny ones. "Octopron" is so unfunny, it's actually funny...it just brings to mind FoxyBoy's (now juan I think?) meltdown one evening when he filled the forum with Octopus related crap which was funny.
Ever read the Picolax thread?
I was expecting post modern comedy genius.
Also very unfunny 😐
Is it an egg? Or a mummy robin?
