I found a nest in a bush in my yard with two eggs, but the mother bird hasn’t been there for a while. I am thinking about bringing the eggs inside and putting them in a box with a light over it. But I do i would like to make sure I can actually sustain them. Is this possible? I need as much advice as possible.

Recently, we’ve had a wild male cardinal hopping around our back porch, singing away and trying to find a mate. The cats come around every once and a while, but the cardinal just flutters up to a higher part of the house, where the cats can’t get-to.
We’d like to keep the cardinal around, but not force it too. So, we were thinking of building a bird house just for the bird, and a bird feeder for him.
Anyways, the main question was, what should I use? Is there some kind of ‘do-it-yourself’ box kit bird house and feeder that he’d like? Or would a special design be necessary (completely willing to put one together myself)? We’d like to build the bird house so that, if he finds a mate, he and her can build a nice nest inside. Also, the bird feeder. Any special design? Anything specific he’d like? Also, the wood they’re made of. Is there any kind of wood he’d feel the most comfortable in?
Also, we feel kind of bad for him. He’s singing away for a new mate (we think either his first one died, or he is looking for a first) and so far, he’s the only cardinal we’ve seen around a place. The other birds are a few starlings and some red-chested robins. Do you have any ideas of how to help him so he finds a mate?

It has been already 3 weeks since our baby budgies have hatched. The mother has been caring for them until now. Now only the dad goes in there once in a while but not often. What should I do, my birds are not tame and the cage does not have a big door. The babies are in a small nesting box and I cannot fit my hand in it. It would also be nice to know how to tame my budgies.
I found a little bird i the middle of my parking lot, he has feathers but can’t fly. I left him out for a while and he was still there so I brought him in for the night because it is cold out and I didn’t want him to get hit.
I don’t plan on keeping him, but I made him a little box with a makeshift nest, some twigs, and some cozy stuff. Is there anything I can do to feed him? And what can I feed him?

I have a green one and it likes humping the blue one alot, so the green one is probably the male. However, I heard that female birds lay eggs even when they’re not fertile. I don’t have a nest box available for my birds, so is that why she doesn’t lay unfertile eggs? And they copulate ALOT, like about 3 times a day for the past 2 weeks, and once in a while on regular times, year-round. How often does a bird lay fertile/unfertile eggs? I’ve had mine for 5 years, and I’v only ONCE found somethign that looked like smashed egg shells covered in poop on the cage floor.

I have a female and a male parrotlet, they are in the same cage. They have been “mating” for a while now and i put a nest box in the cage. She stayed in the box all night but theres no eggs. She keeps going in and out of the box and is very aggressive when i even go near her cage. Im positive shes pregnant(whatever you call it for birds) But shes not laying eggs! and shes been all crazy like this for almost a month. When will she lay eggs?
Also, some days she doesn’t even go in the box and other days shes in a lot.
last time i saw two of these birds in the dream dead.i also saw my mom trying to feed the birds with me.their food hurt my body so much.i don’t really hve any birds.any idea??
