    Wow thanks everyone for your input, so I guess if these are starlings the HD will most likely just put them down? I really would like to help the babies, but I work during the day so can't feed them every 2 hours. If anyone would like to guide me I am more than will to do what I can, I would hate for these babies to suffer in any way...

    Re: Baby birds

    If it was one of the parents that flew into your home then you should know what type of bird it is and have a better idea than we would. Pics are usually helpful as well,.. other than that they look like common house finch eggs. Their feather colors vary depending on the region, more so for the males but the females are usually just brown and starling eggs are blue.

    We use to catch fledglings when I was younger or go around shaking them out of street sign posts. We called them chi chi birds.

    They have baby bird food that you can buy and see how they take to that. We tried it with some baby jays that were brought into a vet hospital I use to work at. But their poo was always loose on it, so I brought different insects and worms from pet shops to feed to them. Which firmed their poo and made for easier clean up the way it's suppose to be. Until they were flying around the area we kept them in and my boss let'em go one day.

    Even then we kept a record to make sure that they were fed at least every couple of hours.
