Hello, today morning found a small hummingbird nest in my garden with four chicks in it. I think my neighbours cat did something to their mother. I have no idea what to feed these babies. Im feeding them honey using a syringe. I have fond some earthworms but im not sure if these small chicks can digest it. Please help.
