Hi Maddie
The Nov. 2007 Bird Talk has a good article on how to tame a
small bird. Also, see if your parents will help you find a
local bird club. Someone in a local club may be able to
help you first hand. Earning a birds trust for the first
time takes some time. As far as the little babies go let
the mom and dad bird feed them and take care of them, when
they are eating on there own and getting active you can
start working with them also.
see if you can get some local help

The above web page has a lot of good articles and some free
e-books. The e-books are directed a younger readers
best of luck
