bluebirds - brood 2 hatched

The four bluebird eggs have become helpless little hatchlings. I watched today as the female brought some food, then the male brought in a many-legged item to feed them. She tried to convey it to the young but between their helpless writhing and the bug's wiggling legs, I'm not sure where it went. She did remove a "diaper bag", and he went back out to find something more suitable to feed those hungry beaks gaping in the nest.
