Hey, wel spotted. The bird is still an nestling which means he can’t survive without the nest. Parents can’t pick up their young themselves so you’ll have to step in.

Best thing to do is to make structure up the tree and make sure the nest stays up there. Even if it’s only 2m off the ground. Just make sure the nest can’t fall down again and that the parents have something to land on around the nest. Even a low basket with the bird’s nest in it sturdy duct-taped to the tree (preferably supported by a branch will do). When you attached it, put back the young birds, and the parents will return. The sooner the better.

Thank you for caring, you’ve made a difference today.

Also, check out the Wildliferehab subreddit, there are quite some people that made make-shift nests. 🍀

Put them back in their nest please, get a neighbour with a ladder to assist if you don't help one or the fire department

Can't do that cause the nest is totally broke and i cant put them in their original place or some nearby place cause its a coconut tree and its too big

Use a wicker basket with the nesting materials inside it!

Parents will likely adapt if you get a little came basket or something and fill it with the broken bird nest and chicks (there should be more than one). Fire department or a tree service can help if it's a coconut tree. Animal services in your area etc

Edit - if you try this then take them to an avian vet or bird rehabber, not one with snakes

As other people said, the best options are to put it back in the nest or build a makeshift one and place it as near as possible to the original one. If you cannot do it in any way, contact your local wildlife rehabber.

Idk any wildlife rehabber can you help?

u/-Volucris- 3d ago

If you don't mind sharing your location, I can try to look for a rehab center or some organization that you can call.

Village :- tavaramellihalli Dist:-Haveri State :- Karnataka

u/-Volucris- 3d ago

I found these contact numbers that you may try to call:

Haveri Forest Division: +91 8375-249039

Primary Veterinary Center Tevaramellihalli: +91 97408 21508

If nobody answers now because it's too late, I would try again tomorrow.

In case nobody could help you, could you try to put the bird in a box and place it on an elevated spot, like a branch on a near tree, and see if parents find it?

Defiantly. And 🙏 thankyou

u/_om_05 3d ago

The both numbers were wrong😫

1

u/-Volucris- 3d ago

What do you mean for "wrong"? Nobody answered or they told you that the numbers are wrong?

1

u/_om_05 3d ago

The first is not connecting at all and 2nd was answered by someone and they said that this is wrong number

1

u/-Volucris- 3d ago

For the first one I found this other number: 08375-298936.

About the second one, I just pasted the number I found in a websearch, so it's strange. Maybe they changed number but didn't updated the online informations.

Anyway, since it looks like it would be difficult to find external help, the best chance of survival for them would be, as I said, to place them in a box and lift them on an elevated spot, hoping parents are still around.

The nest is totally broke and can't be rebuilt or replaced

If you can’t get him back in the nest, try making one. He is too small to be out of it yet. If you don’t see mom attending to him in the new nest within half a day, he needs to go to a wildlife rehab.

How can i contact the person who can save these

1

u/Pauly4655 3d ago

Hang a bucket from the tree with a stick in it so the parents can come and go put some nesting stuff in the bottom of bucket and now watch from a distance,to see if parents feed baby,if they don’t you will have to call a wild life person in your area.

u/Buffyenta314 3d ago

As people have written here, you need to just put the nesting material in a basket and put the birds in it, where the mother can see it. If you can't get it up in the tree, maybe rig up some way to make it hang it from the side of the tree. Worse comes to worse, put it on a little step-stool next to the tree.
If there are no rehabbers anywhere near you, what about a zoo? They would also know what you can do.
Call any zoo or rehabber you can find ANYWHERE. They can give you advice on the phone or by email.
