Knocked down Sparrows Nest, 5 nestling, what to do?

They parents were flying around for a while, didn't know what to do so stuck the nest in a cardboard box on the roof with the 5 nestlings in it with the remains of the nest, I think…

I took down a nest from the eve of the house this evening, we thought all the sparrows had gone but it wasn't until I took it down I saw them.
They parents were flying around for a while, didn't know what to do so stuck the nest in a cardboard box on the roof with the 5 nestlings in it with the remains of the nest, I think there about 7 days old.
Any ideas what I should do to give these little guys the best chance at survival, is it possible the parents will find the box on the roof?

Edit: Could someone move this to the correct forum, only saw it now, tks.

Hopefully they will start feeding them once they hear them calling, check out the website wildlifematters.ie for more help though.
