“Touching a baby bird will make the parents abandon it. Birds don’t have a good sense of smell. It’s worse than ours. They also love their babies and wouldn’t care if it smells weird. Leave fledglings alone unless they’re in a dangerous situation, but if they are in a dangerous situation, get them out of it. And if you see a baby bird without feathers outside of a nest, place it back in the nest or take it to your nearest wildlife rehabilitation center.“
