Well done !
I had a similar issue... a large and old nest fell during a thunderstorm (with baby robins in it), and I was convinced by my then 5 year old daughter to 'save the baby birdies'. The nest was recovered, the scattered babies put into it with a few pieces of torn towel, the nest was carefully set into an old wicker basket, and the basket was then firmly screwed back into the tree.
Mom returned after the storm, and all the babies survived. That nest box was reused every year for two decades.
