I once found a baby bird and took it home. (Don't do this. I was a kid and didn't know any better.) Bird parents are amazing. They found the cage I was keeping their baby in and they came every day to feed him.

~~Some birds do the exact opposite: if they see that a human has touched their chick (even if they just leave it in the same place afterwards) they might reject it and stop feeding it.~~

Apparently this is an urban myth.

Well, I was teached that by my parents, but because of your post I looked it up and apparently, as you say, that's not true.

So cheers for getting me to check it!
