My goodness, I'm sorry it ...April and Taylor, <br /><br />My goodness, I'm sorry it took me a month to see this comment. I hope that the four chicks weathered the storm, and by this point, have probably left the nest. Had I seen this before, I think my advice would have been to let nature take it's course. House finches commonly nest in planters like that, and I know my brood made it through quite a few April showers. If the chicks had been knocked from the nest, mom and dad probably would have stayed nearby to continue feeding and protecting it. But if you do find and injured or orphaned bird, carefully get it in a cardboard box lined with a soft material, and try and find a local wildlife rehabilitator that can care for it. This website has helped me do that in the past:<br />http://wildliferehabber.com/modules/xoopsmembers/<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed the story! It actually continued this season, and I hope to write about it soon. Please do let me know how yours went as well.David Tanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12072328548753126802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5239973789011419490.post-48465780041366441962012-04-26T23:51:46.462-04:002012-04-26T23:51:46.462-04:00I loved your story!

I want to protect the 4 babies that are in there, but don't want the parents to abandon the nest. Any suggestions?Critch in the Kitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03818419380492583198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5239973789011419490.post-36101736507823877352011-07-28T09:06:38.631-04:002011-07-28T09:06:38.631-04:00Very sweet!Very sweet!Christina Barrioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01665576450277202448noreply@blogger.com
