we found 2 baby birds (i dont know what kind) in their nest, i dont think the mother will return, i dont want it to die, what can i do, we put them in a new tree and they’re there now, i know you’re not supposed to touch the bird or the nest cuz the mom won’t come or something but, what do i do , what do i feed it, how do i keep it warm
so, i found this young pigeon on my doorstep, no way i can find it’s nest cuz chinatown’s crowded with millions of birds and hundreds of bird nest so i bought it home. then i went to the pet shop to get canary seed(cuz the pigeon feed is real expensive and it’s a big pack, the nutrients are only like 2 persent less or more)
so i got it settled into a 2 squared feet cardboard box. with newspapers over a piece of warm cloth for bedding.
So now i have a few questions:
1.my pigeon is attracted to bread more than bird seed? why? and how am i suppose to fix that? cuz bread is not good for them in the long run.
2.my pidgeon is flicking the seeds like real hard, SO THEY’RE FLYING ALL OVER THE PLACE.
3.I know that a cloth underneath newspaper ain’t that warm and comfy, but i’m afraid that the bird poop will stain the piece of cloth if i put it on top, and i want to give it the best i have until it’s back feathers have all grown in(it’s currently pinkish with tufts of soft fur like feathers, other wise it’s full fledged)
thanks

So i found this baby bird in my yard. it fell out of its nest. there was another baby bird that fell out of its nest about 5 feet away from it, but it didnt survive…. and its dead. so i took this baby in and put it in a converse shoe box. (with ventilation of course.) and so my niece named it peddy, cuz she was there with me. 
anyway, it was opening its mouth really widely cuz it wanted food! i didnt know what to feed it, so i called my *friend and she said the best thing to feed it was bugs. i dont have bugs. so she then said to try feeding him hot dog… i did and she took it really well and ate it. it was really cute!!!!…. so i’ve had it for half a day now…. but then baby peddy vomited the hot dog a few hours later after fed it to him, several times around the box. i then refused to clean that up and moved it to a different box. so now, i dont know what to feed him. other things that my friend suggested that i dont have chicken or turkey, i cant go to the pet store to buy it bugs, cuz i cant drive, and i cant feed him KFC or chicken nuggets cuz they have spices and preservatives! i asked her about feeding it bread, but she said it doesnt have enough nutrition to be its main food. i then asked about fruits and veggies, but she said that baby birds dont really eat those.
WHAT CAN I DOO?
please help, this bird has shown to be good and healthy so far.
and i want to help it back into the outdoors.

*btw, my friend is an expert on animals and pets. also, she has taken care of many baby birds before and knows a lot about them.
thank you very much for the answers so far.
also,
how long can this baby bird go without food?
and it is tilting its head straight up with a big mouth as if asking for food. (i've seen this on television) so thats why i thought he wanted food.

i found a lightning bug/ firefly! but im not sure that i can feed it that because of the the chemicals that light up its but…..
so is it safe to?

How do you breed parakeets and be sucessful?
How do you breed parakeets and be successful? Cuz when i researched it says you have to change the next box bedding and that you have to keep it moist. I wanted to try to breed my parakeets(ps i am keeping all the babies and we have an aviary for them so please no rude comments). Please help me . Have you ever breed your birds? were you successful? What did you do with the nest (did you change the bedding?And if you did how did you change the bedding with the eggs in the nest box?) Did you handfeed?
Thanks for the help
can you put the nest box in the cage?
