this is a long story so bear with me. you can leave now and answer other questions if you have no experience with baby birds. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE only answer if you know what you are talking about.
last night my mom and I found two starving baby birds under a bush where a nest fell out of a tree. one was very small and not moving much and the other had his mouth open crying for food. these bird’s eyes were closed, and no feathers only a little fuz. no mother bird in sight. we put them in the nest and put the nest in a box heated to 80-85 degrees F. i woke up every 2 hours that nite 2 feed them. larger one ate eagerly, smaller ate none till i picked him up & fed him. fed moist cat food and mushed up worms. Both survived the night. The next morning i fed them evry hour. kept in 80-85F.
so i tryed to call some wildlife reserves to see if they would take em in, but got no answer. e-mailed them, no answer. i decided to put thm back in the bush…. continued
…to see if the mother bird would come back. sat there for a 1/2 hour waiting for a bird to show up but none came. i had to go inside because it’s 87degreesF out there! right now the birds are sitting in the bush alone in the nest. they have some shade. I need advice on what to do next. Should I take the birds back inside? Should i leave them on the bush? plz give me advice I really need it. Don’t let these birds die! help me save them!!!! Answer now!
listen i’m not sure if the mother will come back. we found them last night and they were probably there for a while to start with! i don’t think the mother will come back! I just really don’t know whose advice to follow! keep them, or put them in the bush, keep them , or put them in the bush…. i decided to take them back in and feed them until my mom gets home and we can decide together. I really need answers from ppl who have done this before!
