I just scrolled down and noticed your first post. OK, when you said you lost Troy, do you mean he flew away? Or did he pass away? It's very hard to raise baby birds, and I speak from experience. First of all, I would try to mix in some more protien in their formula. Exact is a parrot hand feeding formula and parrots are seed/fruit/nut eaters, whereas wild birds need a higher protien diet to immitate what they eat in the wild (Primarily bugs). It really depends on how big they are, but try putting some canned kitten food in with the Exact handfeeding formula, use mostly canned kitten food. And warm the mixture up so that it's not cold but not warm...luke warm. Kitten food is a more specific food for wild birds.
I wish you luck. If baby bird did die then know it's very, very hard to raise a baby wild bird. I have had dozens die on me, in fact, I have only been successful a handful of times.
