There are three young pigeons on my deck that have been there all day with no mother around. (at least as far as I can tell) They look like they are about 75% of the size of an adult pigeon, and are not flying. Is there anything I can do to help them or should I ignore this situation because it is out of my hands?

We put it in a box outside with some bedding, not expecting it to last the night, but it was still alive this morning. I've been feeding it soaked shelled hemp seeds every hour or so, which it seems to like, but have no idea what species it is or what to do with it now. [more inside]
