Hello All,
I am sure I am going to violate some rule here... but I cannot be concerned with that now.
Help is needed.
I have a nest that was built a few years ago on the downspout of my roof gutter.
While cleaning those gutters today, I disturbed that nest. In fact, I damaged the nest and three babies fell out of the bottom to the ground and another was sort of pinned between the house and the gutter.
I called a friend who knows more about birds than I. (I know nothing.) My friend suggested that I replace the birds in the nest and then leave it be.
So, I picked up the three babies, and picked out the one that was pinned and returned them to the nest - I did not try to repair the nest because it seemed so fragile.
My question is... Should I try to get a sock or somthing similar and stuff it under the nest to provide a new "bottom?"
Will the parents still care for the nest?
Is there anthing else I should do?
