Answer Please put them in a little basket back where you found them and hope that the parents will hear them and feed them. Please don't try to feed them - it is cruel as they will bond to you and can never go back to the wild. They need training if they survive and grow (hopefully with their parents) to be able to find food and to be safe from predators. If they do not survive it is mother nature's way of the survival of the fittest to keep the species strong. If all the birds survived that are hatched we would be up to our hips in birds. Predators and accidents get the slower and not so smart which again keeps the species strong. It is nature's plan. Please try to understand this if the babies do not survive.
