Question
hi i have got in to a sorta of trouble well you see the other day i was with my friends an a friend threw a rock at a tree because they were hitting a abandoned nest, well it happened to fall, and when it was going to fall on me i cought it but there were 2 baby BIRDS IN IT they were young and i took them to my house because thye lived in close to a river, and now i have 2 baby eggs and half a nest what do i do, i also waited for the parents to come for them but i have never seen them since, please help.

P.S. the baby birds were like the common bird all gray!!

Answer
First of all, do your parents know?

Second, I can't tell you much unless I know how old these birds are and how close to fledging (leaving the nest) they are.

Is it possible for you to take a picture (even a bad one will do) and e-mail it to me or load it onto here?

Depending on how young the birds are, they may or may not survive.

Expertise

I can answer questions about bird identification (by sight or sound), behavior, distribution, population, conservation, mating, nesting, fledging and feeding. I do have some practical knowledge about foreign species, but identification skills are limited in that arena. Bear in mind that as much as I know, it's possible that at least some of you will ask a question that I am unable to answer. At which point I would direct you to wherever or whomever I thought could provide you with that information.

Experience

I have 15 years birding experience in Southern California.

Organizations
Audubon Society

Education/Credentials
My education is in art and photography -but I have a substantial portfolio of nature related work.
