the nest is empty at this time, and would like to keep it under the deck for the sake of the hardworking mother bird and her future chicks, but under my Jacuzzi i can’t have it, so im thinking of moving it 3 feet away, same height. The new under the deck don’t have same support plank as where the nest is, if i place a box and make wide hole would it work? guess it would have to be weatherproof maybe wooded box? i need to know what to do before she give birth, any suggestion will help!

A pair of birds built a SMALL nest outside our kitchen window and proceeded to lay 5 eggs. They built the nest only 3 feet off the ground. The eggs hatched 4 days ago. Mom & dad feed the birds and all seems well. The nest appears to be crowded already and as they become more active I fear they will start falling out. I know not to touch the nest or birds but is there anything I can do to soften the fall should this happen without the mom & dad abandoning them?

There was a baby bird in my drive way, i caught him and put him in a cage. He’s calm, he lets you pet him. He’s not very old, but does have all of his feathers. He can only fly about 2-3 feet at a time, which is why i brought him in. He ventured around in my driveway for about an hour or so and our dogs kept barking at him.
He’s a normal any old day blackbird, what should I feed him?
Should I let him back out?
Should I take him to a vet?
