What should I do about a birds nest that broke and the babies fell out?
I nest that was in my gutter completely broke today and now there are two baby birds laying in my front yard. They have feathers but cannot fly. One bird though seems to be injured. Is there anything I can do? Please respond ASAP. Thanks!
If injured, they need to go to a wildlife rehab. If not injured, you can "make" a nest using a basket or small plastic container and fill with twigs (can use the nest itself to put inside for warmth) cotton, etc. and place the babies into it and place the nest in a safe area where it can be anchored well as close as possible to the original nest location. You can use a basket with handle and tie the nest up by the handle to a nearby tree if necessary. The parents will still care for them and should be able to locate them by their begging calls. If these birds are fully feathered..they were probably close to leaving the nest on their own..if mostly bald then it is very important to get them back into a nest. Also, do NOT worry about touching them..birds cannot smell well and will NOT abandon their babies due to human scent, this is an old wives tale and not true in the least. If they are injured or you cannot get them back to their parents, look here for a rehab:

Bird Houses to attract Wild Birds to your Garden
There are many Bird House designs to choose from and it is important to choose the right one to suit the wild bird species that you want to attract. Nest boxes with holes in the fronts will attract small birds such as Tits, Fly Catchers and Sparrows. The hole diameter should be approximately 25-32mm for these species. A larger hole of up to 60mm is required for bigger birds such as Woodpeckers. Birds such as Blackbirds and Wrens prefer nest boxes with open fronts, and special wedge shaped designs are available to attract Tree Creepers. House Martins and Swallows typically nest under the eaves of houses with nest made of clay and specially designed replica nests can be purchased to suit these species.
Once you have decided on the right birdhouse to suit the garden bird you are aiming to attract, then you will need to pick a suitable site for the nest box. Typically, it is a good idea to place Bird Houses for smaller species such as Tits and Wrens, in the cover of hedges and shrubs but high enough off the ground or deep enough in cover to protect from predators. Bird nest boxes for larger birds such as Blackbirds and Starlings should be placed 1.5 – 5m high in a tree. Place the nesting box even higher in the Tree for Woodpeckers.
The special nesting boxes for Swallows and House Martins need to be placed where the birds build their mud and clay nests, under the eaves on the outside of buildings but can be placed inside barns and outbuildings if natural nests are in place and the birds have access.
Bird Houses can be placed close together to form colonies for species such as sparrows, or special colony nest boxes can be used.
For most wild birds it is best to site the nesting box in a quiet area of the garden away from the general comings and goings of the household. Although some birds such as Blue Tits can become quite tame and have been known to nest in post boxes and even hanging baskets right next to the house.
Whichever bird house you choose it may take some time for the birds to find it so don't worry if it is not occupied for some time. A nest box can be fitted in the garden at any time of year but if you put it in place by February (in the UK) then there is a good chance it will be occupied by the Spring.
