A member of the public found the birds at the side of Blidworth Waye, in Papplewick, on Tuesday last week.
The RSPCA say they don't know how long they were there for and they had been left with no food, water or perch.
The box had been sealed shut and there were no air-holes to give the birds oxygen.
They were very cold and were all huddled up together, standing in their own feces. It was so sad to see and I am so glad that they were found when they were. There is a good chance that whoever abandoned them did so with the thought that they would not be found, as they were in a rural area which does not attract a lot of people.
"Additionally, no food, water or air-holes could have left them to die a horrible slow death." - Animal Welfare Officer Brannan
