I know parts of it sound like the usual snarky stuff about how you should put them back ('cause if you can, you should, BUT if you can't), but you can actually glean some useful info from it.
I wish I could help! A smart plan would be to contact a bird rehabilitation center, if there are any near you, or an aviary or a vet clinic... you already know how to feed them apparently, and that's one of the more difficult things to do without injuring/killing the baby... but hopefully a center around you could give you useful info, or even take the babies.
I'd contact the wildlife rehab in Verona immediately.
Many, many times birds this size do not survive - even with professionals. They can live up to a week sometimes, so overnight is really no indicator they they'll be ok.
:( That was really disrespectful (towards nature/life/wildlife) of Nina - if my kids did something like that there would be HELL to pay.
Hiding them in the drawer does not sound like she was just "helping" - sounds more like she was hiding them because she KNEW it wasn't right to bring them in.

She told me she found the nest laying on the ground with the babies in it. So, technically she thought she was helping them.
Marie took them back, and put them where they were. We're keeping watch to see if the parents come back to feed them.
Everything I've read online says that's the best course of action.
