Feeding Swallows?

Juantorena · 2012-06-16 12:34:33

Just discovered the remains of two swallows in our carport. I knew of a nest there and the parents have been diligently coming and going to the nest but I suspect that the two dead birds are the same said parents. I also suspect our - now limping - tom-cat is the assassin. But what to do with the nest and hatchlings?…

But what to do with the nest and hatchlings? Pretty sure there are at least two in the nest and that one is alive. Should I try feeding them? Should I try passing them on to a relevant group?

Hand rearing swallows is very difficult. Try and pass them onto a wildlife rescue organisation as soon as possible before they starve
