Abandoned babies

[Libby]

We are estimating that the birds are about 7 days old since they started hatching 8 days ago it happened over the course of two to three days. Reading their development they are closest to 7 Day development as well. Much better after 5 feedings today just had their last one at 11 they might get one more in the middle of the night. If we can get through this week we will be golden. After this week the feelings will be far enough apart and then they'll start weaning. About then they get to go to their cage. Have them set up in a shoebox that I customized to their needs. Heating pad the lid has slits in it to vent. They're also sitting inside of a plastic dog food container my mom had kept. It's the perfect size for a finch nest.

After all this and just one day of it I've got to say I really feel for all the mother birds out there.
