If you can, try putting them back in the nest. Birds can't smell very well, so they won't abandon the babies because you touched them.

You've got to leave them. It hurts the birds, man, it's rather dangerous for them. Let nature take its course, and don't interrupt.

hi, well, it is very hard to keep birds when abandoned....you have to be careful when feeding not to make them asperate...you need a seringe that has a tube connected to it and bird formula....there are some on the net that you can make yourself...not sure what one would be best to use, i dont know what kind of birds you have....once you have everything you need, you have to hold it's mouth opened and insert the tube down it's throat into where they store their food....if you can not do it that way, just put some thicker formula into the side of their mouth and let them take it in....to keep them warm, put them in a box and put a heating pad on low put one side of the box on the pad and the other side off in case they need to get away from the heat...you can also put a heat lamp on them but not really close. put papers in the bottom of the box and an old towel...dont use beding...they can try to eat it and choke...good luck

It is actually illegal for you to take these birds in. The mother will not abandon the birds. It is a myth. If you arlready took them inside take them back out to where you found them. Nature will take it's course. You will do the birds more harm by trying to take care of them.

you can keep them warm with an electric heating pad on the lowest setting with a towel over the pad to put a barrier between them and the pad to keep them from getting burn or you can make a rice bag and warm that up in the mircrowave and use that wrapped in a towel. As for food buy some baby food , meat only , no vegtables and you can buy like meal worms at a pet store adn feed those to them. you can also get like kittens milk in the store and feed that to them with asyringeyou have to put it down their throat as they have little food pockets that they actually store thier food in and swallow it.

I raised some abandoned baby birds on chicken mash mixed with water. I put it into their throats by cutting the end of a syringe and "injecting" it in, about every hour. The birds thrived and eventually I turned them loose, and they flew away. Turns out they were mockingbirds. But there are many wildlife rescue centers around, are there any near you? They most often will take them for you, or you could at least call and get their advice, or look them up on line.Good luck!

Keep them in a secure place suck as a box lined with towels without all the plush (it will get caught in their nails and possibly injure their legs) keep them warm over a heating pad under the box on low. They can be fed thru a syringe, a mixture of wet dog food and water (not too thin or too think as both could cause problems) gently push the sides of their beaks to get them to take the syringe. Put it gently to the back of their mouth and feed small amounts at a time. Be careful not to scrape the back of the throat. They need to be fed every couple hours so you are in for a handful.
