Three baby greenfinches got thrown out of their nest today (there were 5) so I put them back in and left them.....the nest looked too small to fit them all tho and it was rather precariously built......anyway..........went back to check a few hours later and two had completely disappeared...one was on the floor dead and two were left in the nest. I left them there and have been watching but havent seen the parents go back. It is now raining and cold and I'm sure these birds should be sat on to keep warm? Not sure how old they are but cant be very old, they only have a little fuzz, one has its eyes open but the other is still closed. I want to know should I bring them in and keep them warm till I can take them to the vets in the morning and if so should I feed them anything? Or should I just leave them??Please someone help me....quickly!

  1. take them inside and get a cage and blanket , then put them in it and see what needs to be done. keep a lookout for the parents..they might get mad


  2. leave them but check on them, and if they look untouched in a day or two, take them to a rescue or vet.

    also that scent thing is a myth. the mom will NOT reject the babies because of you touching them.

  3. you shouldnt have touched them, you left your scent with the babies.

    the parents will reject their babies!

    i say you have no other choice but to bring them to the vet
