My goodness, papayahed, these look tiny. It's a bird's nest right? I wonder if they are wrens, finches or hummingbirds; more possibly finches. How are you feeding them? I think they require a worm or insect, like every few minutes; however, with some parent bird species, I think they eat the worm first, digest it and regurgitate it up for the young ones. I don't think you are prepared to be that dedicated a mom to them, are you? We have a bird nest in our holly tree and the mother and father never stop flying in with their food; I think you will be up all night hearing their peeping. Wow, being a bird mom is a full time job. It's unbelievable to think they survived the shipping. Are they lively? I believe online recently I heard of a similar incident but it involved a small kitten or puppy, I believe. I sure hope they survive.
Unfortunately, my aunt had to take her tiny kittens to a vet finally, because the weakest one died. She was trying to feed them with an eyedropper and powdered milk. I hope you have better luck with your new family.
Oh, Sorry Janine I should have been a little more clear. The box wasn't shipped to me, it has been sitting in a storage room. I was checking the inventory of my safety supplies and I thought one of my guys threw trash in the box but when I pulled the box out a little bit I saw the nest so I put it back. I put a sign on the box not to disturb it and every few days I've been going in and looking at it. The "real" mother has been around. For a while there I would put on a face shield to look at the nest because I was afraid she would fly out of the nest and peck my eyes out. I was wondering if I should give them something to eat but I have no idea what so I'm leaving it up to bird mom.
Oh, great to hear this. Glad the mother bird is attending them. I could not imagine how you were going to feed them. I think you have to leave it up to nature now. You did the best you could and hopefully, the sign will deter people from disturbing the little nest. How cute it is. I hope they survive. It should be interesting to watch them grow and get feathers. I know what you mean about a face mask. My neighbor was once weeding near a bush with a mockingbird nest in it. Needless to say, he was bend over with short shorts on; he always wore these short cordoroy shorts in the summer. He pretty much had only his backside showing and the bird swooped down and you can imagine the rest -what a big shock to him. His wife told that story often and everyone got a good laugh, all except the man who was the subject of the viscious attack. Those mocking birds are the worst! You better wear full body gear...
Would like to share two pictures from our visit today to the Kronborg Castle, in Helsingor (Denmark), which is much more well known as the Hamlet Castle.

I told you before Virgil. At our age in general, and among all the young whippersnappers (ok, ok, j/k ;) ) residing here in particular, we cannot afford to overlook or forget things: What we used to be able to blaim on absentmindedness will now be regarded as senility. :lol::lol::lol:
