STEP 1.)

• Take a clear picture of the babies in the nest. 
   

STEP 2.) 

• Find a shoebox type box with a lid.

• Add some leaves, paper towels or other soft and dry bedding to the box.

• Remove the babies from the nest and  place in the box and close the lid.

• Place the box onto a heating pad set on the LOWEST setting. If you do not have a heating pad, fill a thick sock with rice and heat in the microwave, make sure it's not too hot, but giving the babies the warmth they would be getting from the parent-bird.

• Do not place the heating pad into the box, place the box on top of the heating pad. 

• The first priority is to make the sure babies stay warm.
   

STEP 3.)

• Do not give the babies food or water or anything liquid by mouth; they could inhale liquids.

​

STEP 4.)

• TEXT the picture of the bird to 404-969-2324 (Atlanta area only). 

Include the following information with your text:

1.) Where you found the bird.

2.) If you witnessed the accident/injury, please describe.

3.) Wait for a text response for further instruction. 

​

STEP 5.)

• Avoid frequently checking on the babies to minimize stress.
