  1. ok ok everyone on here is going to critize you for picking them up. but asap take them to your nearest animal shelter. that just happened to me a few weeks ago.

    edit: dont keep them!!!!!!!! they will not survive i promise!! please if you care about animals take them to an animal shelter


  2. Ok put them in an empty aqarium lined with paper towel.Place a heating pad under it and cover it with a towel to keep the heat inside.If they just hatched they dont need food just yet.They absorbed the egg yolk that was left in the shell.Tommorrow you can start trying to feed them.You will have to use soft foods like baby cereal till you get them to eat for you.It will take a few tries before you get them to eat for you,but once you get them eating they will be ok.Keep them on the heat until they are feathered out.Once they are about 10 days old I would start putting some bird food on the floor of the aqarium to get them to start eating on their own.

  3. immediately contact a wildlife rehabilitator in your area to care for the birds.

  4. keep them warm and give them something mushy to eat like cream corn but KEEP THEM WARM! they will die quickly if you dont. you should probably give them some warm water and put them under a heating lamp. keep them until they are old enough so they can fly

  5. Go to the vet they always know what to do. My cousins have had baby birds before and I saw them feed there baby birds some kind of formula but i am not sure. So my advice again is go to the vet. Or if you want to save money go to someone you know that has baby birds. And hurry!

    Good Luck!

  6. hurry and call animal control or an emergency animal hospital. they will tell you what to do to keep them alive. keep them very warm. the animal control with take them and care for them.

  7. keep them at 90 degrees, DO NOT FEED THEM WATER JUST ONE DROP WILL GIVE THEN PHEMONIA they get enough water from their food but start with crickets or cat food or dog food  (and no worms they arent nutritious) u will know the birds are hungry if they cheep
