Found Tree Swallow Eggs - 2008/05/22 16:27
Good morning! 
I'm new here to the forums and am not sure if this is where I can get the help I'm looking for, but asking can't hurt right?
I have a friend who just moved into her new house, and found a nest with eggs in a temporary structure they had in their front yard. The temporary structure was one of those tents that people use for garages? I can't remember what they're called... Anyway. They wanted to move the structure but disturb the nest as little as possible, so they moved it over to the side. That afternoon, she saw a female tree swallow hopping around in the yard. She was worried that it was the momma and she wouldn't know where the nest was. Then, the next day, she found the momma bird had been attacked and killed by her cat  so she brought the nest into the house and is keeping a heat lamp on it.
Does anyone know anything about caring for tree swallows, or if she should even try to care for them? Or, if this isn't the right place to ask, does anyone have a recommendation in that direction?
Thank you so much for any help!
