Stop feeding them the cat food and oatmeal. It is worms, grasshoopers and other insects that they eat. Even small grubs work. Even light bread will kill them due to the yeast.

I'm just doing what I found online. One thing thing about the cat food, is the colored ones. It has dye in it that's not good for the birds. But the bird rescue lady I took the babies to today said that's what's necessary. But she feeds her rescue birds that and meal worms.
The woman I took them too has many rescue birds at her place. All the way from 2 days old to a couple that are about ready to fly off.
She has an almost solid white blue Jay. I've never seen one.
