You can touch them thats a myth about the parents abandoning them if they smell humans on them. Birds don't have ability to smell they reli on their hearing and eyesight. But if you bother the nest alot they will abandon it more so with red birds they're very shy.

"He's got..."*cut* what did you say next, I need to know!!!!!

@TheMuffinBurgler I never mentioned smell. All I know is that every baby bird ive ever touched was never looked after by its mother and died. Mind you I was a kid so the bird was likely on the ground to start with. Perhaps it fell of of its nest.

@CanadianReich Then something was already wrong with the baby birds. Birds DO NOT have a sense of smell, and unless you damaged them in some way, the mother would have taken them back.

@TheMuffinBurgler as a kid i touched them and mom wouldn't go near them. they died.

@CanadianReich That's a myth. Birds have no sense of smell, so how would they know?

I currently have a baby one of these in my bedroom... It fell 3 stories from my condo roof and has been with me for 3 days. I barely has feathers and is very tiny. Eyes are open and getting stronger every day.

Wow such patience and gentle handling. Great video, very cute.
Maybe it wanted a lift to choir practice?
so cute! I had one in my basement and carefully picked him up and put it in my coat pocket, went outside and released it. He flew to a nearby tree. So cute

Thanks for your note. I was just thinking the other day that spring will be rolling around (not a moment too soon) and that the chickadees will be checking out the real estate again. I hope the babies will stay put next time until they're ready!
