How do I take care of newborn wild birds?
the best thing for you to do to keep them ok, is to honestly just leave them alone, because if you tamper with them the parents will abandon them, and if you plan to feed them, the survival rate is like 15% for just one i cannot imagine 5, but on the good side, i did say they still have a chance, so goo luck and take care
You leave them alone. You don’t take care of them. If you’ve already moved them, it is a job for a skilled, experienced rehabber. If they have not been moved, LEAVE THEM ALONE. More than likely the nest is a Wren’s. They are superbly equipped to deal with their hatchlings. BTW, songbirds are Federally protected. If you’ve moved the babies or the nest or otherwise disturbed it, you’ve broken the law. Call a veterinarians office and ask to be directed to a licensed rehabber. b/c it’s also illegal for you to have them, good intentions aside.
