Found baby birds. What do i do?

So i have been keeping my eyes on this nest. We have a large deck and a robin built her nest on one of the bars underneath it. We had a nest there last year and it was destroyed by squirrels. I had the dech covered on top of where the nest was to protect them from the rain. When i went to clean up after the dogs today the nest was gone. I looked and found a broken up nest, 3 baby birds and a cracked egg. The cracked egg just hatched. Theres no way i can try and put them back. The nest is destroyed. I have them in a box with a towel. They are hungry. How do i feed them? What do i feed them? Is there anything i can do? Animal control says they have their hands full so im at a loss of what to do. Any help would be great
Gunny thats just mean. These are helpless baby birds. What kind of person would i be if i left them there? That would have been cold hearted and as a animal lover i would never do that. They would have been killed or they would have starved to death. If you dont have a helpful answer then dont answer. I didnt meddle in nature. I am simply being a good person and trying to give these babies a shot at life
Thank You to the ones with helpful answers. i called the spca and it actually just put me through to the animal control like before so i found the raptor trust and will be taking them there now. For now i knitted a little baby cap and put a rubber glove with warm water and tissues on top to use as a temp nest and to keep them warm for the time being. They are still see through. Thanks for the help

help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! D: (Budgie eggs)?

will my budgie not sit on the eggs anymore because i moved her nesting box down further in her cage??? she knows knows where it is (she was in it when the box was moved), but shes climbing around the top of the cage. she is a very curious bird though, she’s just looking around, coz mum made me clean her cage today. so everything is moved around.

and how long can a budgie go without sitting on her eggs before they won’t hatch(because they go cold)???

ps. i had to move her nesting box!! because where it was sitting it could have fallen to the bottom of the cage and cracked all her eggs and hurt her aswell. and i was very carefull moving it. I sooo badly wont these eggs to hatch too coz my male budgie died :(

If i found an egg…..?

my brother found an undamaged bird egg, and we put it in some cotton wool on top of our agar (kind of stove u keep on 24/7, but just cool enough to lean on). the egg is blue, and about twice the size of a mini egg. what are its chances of hatching, if at all?and if it does, what do we do with the baby bird? what will we feed it? i’ll shut up now.

My bird wont enter the nesting box?

I have a female ringneck and we have had her for about 2.5 years and in the aviary she is in there is a nesting box. why wont she go in there? even when I put her in there she wiggles like a worm to get out. Why is she not going in there. she is use to it. about 1 year. she flys on top of it but that’s it. Any Tops???

My parakeet just laid an egg?

I have two birds in the cage, one boy and girl. I was told that I can put them in the same cage as long as there is not a nesting box available. One day, i saw the boy on top of the girl but they got off eachother as soon as I walked by. Then, my dad saw the female at the bottom of the cage pecking at something and we later saw it was an egg. Since we do not regularly give the female calcium, we put some in her food and she is eating it now, leaving the egg on the floor of the cage. What am I supposed to do? This has never happened to me before.

Why is my female cockatiel egg on top of its box (Where I put the nest in!)?

Ok! Today I came home from school and done the washing for my mum! While I was doing it I saw an egg on top of the cockatiels Box in the bird cage but it was very weird! I don’t know which female did it but I was pretty sure it was the one that I bought on Sunday!

PS. It is not tame!

Why would it do this?
could there be a way to stop the bird from doing this?
Would it be too late for the egg?

Can you just tell me!
There are 4 cockatiels in the same cage and I think 2 or 3 of them are female
and 3 or 2 males!

mating parakeet conditions?

for one, im not sure if my one parakeet is a female, i think it may be because i saw the male on top of it, two, if it is a female i don’t have a nest box for it, what else could i use for a nest, three what are the right mating conditions for parakeets to mate?
p.s. just because two birds try to mate does it mean they have to be male+female or can it just mean that they are just trying to mate and they don’t realize that they are both males because im not sure if the one is male or female, the nostril is like a violet/pinkish color
