Help needed

We have had a problem the last two days with chicks in the garden. We
tried
to rescue two chicks as they wandered around the garden on Saturday. Mum
and dad were flying around frantically trying to look for and then feed
the
chicks. Yesterday we came across another chick - it is either one of the
two or it is a third chick.

The starlings roost in our roof - and today I can't hear any activity. I
wonder if because they have lost all their chicks they have moved on
somewhere else.

Meanwhile, this chick is in a cat basket outside in the garden. We have
opened the top and it is moving around.

But after that.........what can we do?

advice I was given, when finding a young bird place it in something like an
ice cream container with some straw (or wool or something like) and hang the
container from a clothes line or the like. Somewhere cats can't climb &
where bird is safe. Mum or dad will likely find it through calling etc. From
there nature determines what transpires.
