well long story short i found a birds nest under a tree and farly spaced from it were 2 blue and brown spotted eggs they are small eggs look like they came from a yellow crested honey eater but i could be wrong bu the question is how do i care for them? cause i want them to survive but i really dont know how does anyone have expeirience in this situation
more info: small blue with brown spotted eggs found in a semi deep nest, possible parents: yellow crested honey eaters or blackbirds, currently got them in an old fish tank beneath an aquairium light, normal temp in the birds nest that i found with them both
ill post pics later

I would put them back up in the tree and watch the tree for about half an hour, since the parents may still be around and may accept their nest back if their find it. During that time i would contact some professionals who may be able to help like the RSPCA (where do you live in the world?) and see if they can do something about the situation, they may be able to take the nest and eggs off your hands and incubate the eggs and raise the chicks and realise them back into the wild- if you tried to attempt this yourself, even if you managed to get the eggs to hatch and the chicks to survive, they would probably be too tame to be realise back into the wild (where they really belong). The chicks my need to be fed over a dozen or more times a day, so its no easy task to undertake something like this yourself, its not really adviseable IMHO- best to take them to a bird sanctuary or something and see what they can do :thumbs: .
 
ive tried to find the parents and the best i can find are a pair of blackbirds and a honey eater though i cant really find were it fell from because the nest was perfectly intact when i found them
my dad seems to want to just smash them no matter what but im gonna try the put them back in the tree method but my dad says its pointless because he thinks they fell out in the storm but it wasnt the storm it was a cat, a mean tabby that eats the birds around our house thanks tokis-pheonix and i live in australia
 
Good luck with the next and eggs :good: - hows everything going now with them, did the parent bird ever come back to claim the nest?
 
parents didnt come back :-( unfortunatly when i took them to the wildlife park they said they were a pests eggs so they terminated them. oh well i guess a pest's a pest couldnt do anything about it :no:
