My grandfather has just born baby chickadees in his backyard, and last night something got into the bird box. It didn’t get the babys, but it tore the nest out. And the mother and father havn’t been into the bird box to feed the babys. Is it alright for him to feed and touch the baby chickadees? What do baby chickadees eat? Will they stay warm enough thoroughout the night? PLEASE HELP!!! 
Nevermind, they all died that night…to late

I live in Fort Pierre, South Dakota, and I’ve been fascinated by birds for as long as I can remember. Recently, my grandfather and I built two plastic-bottle birdfeeders. We don’t usually see a lot of blue jays, but they *do* live in the area. I want to attract as many different species as possible. Will standard mixed bird feed work, or is there anything special to attract specific birds in the area? A few examples of some of the birds that I want to attract are blue jays, robins, chipping sparrows, other sparrows, finches, doves, and common grackles (locally known as “blue-headed blackbirds”). It doesn’t have to be just those species, though.
Anyway, an answer would really be appreciated. Thanks for the help.
