Hi I'm a new poster and would appreciate any advice people could give me. We have a nest box on the back of our house that has had Great Tits nesting inside. The parents have been coming back and forth for a while with food but I noticed on Thursday night I had not seen the male and the female now seemed to be doing it on her own, this continued all day Friday and into today, just the female back and forth feeding. Then I noticed today that the female has stopped coming too. I last saw her at around midday and she has not been back since, the chicks noise is now a constant chirping as they are starving, is there anything I can do for them? The thought of them starving to death is heartbreaking
Thanks in advance
Hi Matt, well done on your efforts in trying to rear these chicks ... you don't say where you are but I often come across a wildlife rescue guy in Sheerness, Kent who is well versed in raising very young abandoned chicks ... maybe you could ring him for advice on what to feed the chicks & how best to generally care for them ... his name is Ray
Hope you can see phone number clearly

And one from yesterday of them ready to be fed, 4th chick hiding at the back
