Default Need Help - Baby Birds

I found 3 baby birds outside hiding under my car. A hawk was overhead. They are very hungry and i searched everywhere and can not find a nest. My husband thought maybe the hawk dropped them but I dont' think so.

I have no idea what to do with them. It would break my heart to see them die and they are hungry.

Anyone have any 'good' advice?? Thanks

You need to find a wild animal rehab, and I can't help you with that. I do know that if you try to feed them it will probably kill them. Perhaps a veterinarian could tell you who to call. Good luck, I know it's heartbreaking.

Sadly they are probably not going to survive without their mother. Such a shame.

Circle of life. The hawk's babies gotta eat too.
