A few years ago, I found a dead bluebird, and began to watch the nestbox to
see if one of the feeding adults was missing. For several hours I saw no
adults at all, so I took the babies out and delivered them to a friend who
had the time to feed them. She fed them with mashed cat food for about 24
hours when I noticed a pair of bluebirds at the nestbox. I rushed back to
town, got the babies from my friend and put them back in the nest. Whether
these were the original parents or a good Samaritan couple, I don't know,
but they raised the babies successfully.
