Did the duck get it hurt when it's mom attacked it?

@lauren88173 and @OzlnHalloween
Haha, I try. Birds are a passion of mine, and I've worked with Veterinarians and Wildlife Rehabilitators and they all say that the bird won't care whether or not you've touched it, it'll just be happy to have it's baby back. The mothering instinct in birds is remarkable; Mockingbirds will mourn the loss of their babies for weeks. There was even a Cardinal that lost her babies who then took up feeding a school of Goldfish in a nearby pond. :D

@ContracterYin this is a myth, birds cannot smell nor can they tell if a human has touched them. Birds do not reject their babies after they have been touched.

@KrisyIsDaBest I wish I could understand how so, but I all I hear is 1: "bunch of ducks" and 9: "face until they".

In my experience, with wild birds if you touch it it will be rejected. I've seen that happen when my sister touched robins eggs, or chicks.
I'm sure there's cases where birds aren't rejected for being touched, but I'm just putting out there what I've experienced.

@ContracterYin I've help feed 4 baby birds in a nest before, and the mom continued to come back to feed and raise babies, and she even saw me handle them and no had no inclination to abandon it. Additionally, I've handled ducklings in front of their moms and the same thing happened where they were integrated back into the pack afterwards. I'm not sure why some people keep saying they have experiences of the moms abandon it from just one human touch. It could be the way they handled it.
