I'm not sure exactly for how long it had been there, but just a couple of days ago I noticed that a bird had set up a nest in the overhang above my front porch.

And ever since then I rarely stepped outside to see the bird not there. But, just this morning I noticed not one but two piles of feathers in my front yard, which can only mean that a stray cat has been racking up kills in the area.

But, the bird was still there this morning. When I got back this evening, the bird was not there. Not unusual. So, I waited a few hours and it's still not there.

I assumed the worst, so I grabbed a broom and worked the nest out of its knoock and dumped its contents into a shoe box. Two tiny little eggs were now in my possession. They were both cold, and one had suffered a slight dent from transfer process.

I have them set up in the shoe box with some newspaper shreddings.

What am I supposed to do when and if those things hatch?

    If you have a wildlife shelter in the area (here we have PAWS), I suggest you take the egg(s) there. If it/they ever did hatch, they would know how to take care of them. Good luck!

    agreed.

    i thought this thread was going to be about nudists. my sick mind.

    but baby birdies are okay in my book. jokes aside, i would take them somewhere if your really worried about it.

    good luck, most people wouldnt give a shit. sad sad sad.
    Peace, Love.
