    I found a bird nest in the chair on my front porch yesterday! As much as I wanted to keep checking on the small eggs I was afraid I would draw predators attention to the nest. Through watching your video you covered this factor actually and I really appreciate your help! Also I wasn’t aware of all of the laws in place to protect the birds. I’m glad they’re there though. Thank you for making this video and making your own experience informative for others.

    My heart is broken. A house sparrow made a nest in our grass and there a four eggs. I have been visiting her daily bringing water to her and watching over the nest. This morning i found her deceased next to her nest. I believe the tiny sparrow is a reincarnation of my mother. I am determined to save the baby birds. I will be raising them by making a incubator .

      similar situation here. a dove nested in my front yard, and she was always there originally, but i found a dead dove in the yard which i believe may have been the mama dove, as i have not seen her at her nest since. it has been a few days since i noticed so i do not know whether the egg is still viable. for all i know, maybe the dead dove isnt her, and she left for a reason. i just want to see if theres anything i can do but im also worried about doing the wrong thing

    Saw a bird fly out of the grass while mowing. When I went back to see if it was injured, I saw a nest on the ground nearby. I covered it with a self made wooden teepee and gently placed cedar branches over it to help it blend in. The mama bird was there the next day and I was so happy she didn't reject it and I felt I had helped protect the nest. But I kept peeking in on her and perhaps made her feel threatened because on the fourth day of checking on her, she didn't come back. It's just about night outside and now I have 4 tiny little speckled eggs in my lap. So hard not to try and keep them warm. Video was helpful, thanks.

    God created nature and put us in charge of being good stewards of His creation.
    Although in most cases it’s best to leave the bird or egg be, there are some instances where one may and according to their heart, training, and resources could possibly have a good result. We are all just humans here living our natural law so no one has the right to say to another what they can and can’t do if it was with good intent. There is something beautiful within when some see a budding life and can intervene and assist. Some are willing to take the chance and learn something from the devotion and lessons they learn about animals. I’m glad there are videos of families teaching their kids how to look after animals and their offspring. What a gift it is to be a parent and even help another species along wirh some help with their kids. Lol

    I was out walking my dog this morning and she was pulling me over to a bush so I followed her. She picked up the scent of a deceased bird. I immediately steered her away before noticing a little 🪹 and two grayish-green eggs speckled with brown spots. A third egg was in the process of being pushed out but was killed in the fight. Naturally I picked them up and brought them inside and put them in a container thinking maybe I could try to incubate them, but then another part of me kicked in and knew that there was other options.
    After watching this video and making a few phone calls, I was simply advised to bring them back outside and put the nest as high in the bush as I could in hopes that the father would find and take care of them. I whispered to them and placed them back.
    Mother Nature definitely has her own way of doing things and we as humans have a duty to respect Her, despite our egos wanting to do otherwise. As bad as I wanted to care for them, I knew deep down it would be a task I wasn’t ready for and every second counted for them. Doing what I was told is a simple way to care for them ❤

    So you guys a dove made a nest in my balcony and I’ve been keeping a close watch on her for a while. Today, unfortunately the bird isn’t there and the nest seems to be pretty ruined. But I checked and there is still at least one egg in there. There might be more than one I’m not sure. What do I need to do? I’m afraid I might do something wrong. If I touch the eggs, will the babies inside die? Please help me you guys.

    I have been watching birds for 50 years. I have seen a flying bird drop a egg. I have seen a bird land on a porch and drop a egg. They may have been startled off the nest while
    Laying a egg. They may be a dirst year egg layer and didnt realize rhe egg was coming out. Thats why there is no nest where you find a egg.

    This doesn't tell us anything of what to actually DO when found except besides the obvious which is call a bird rehabilitation place and hope they care enough about the specific species to want take the time to bring it in and care for it. Not helpful. Everything else this women has said is extremely obvious and well known by any basic individual.

    To anyone finding a Starling egg, or Sparrow egg, they are NOT included in the list of birds not to touch, in the legal paper. Starlings, make great pets!! They are raised by hand, by many people I know. Starlings are darling! They are better Mimics than most parrots, and learn to talk, alot!! My friend found a fledgling starling, that fell from a nest, and now he is her best pet, and best friend!! It is totally legal to raise a Starling, or a Sparrow, and keep them.
    It is also ok, to raise them, and then, let them go. The birds outside that they hang out with, will teach them what to do. There are many alternatives. I would never leave an egg, or bird, or whatever out to die, if you do not see any activity, from adult birds nearby, given some time. If they are songbirds, etc., that are protected by that bird law sheet. Then is the time, that you would need to call and take them to an animal rehabilitator.

    I found a bird egg colored blue on the sidewalk today- there was a small hole in it, probably from hitting the concrete. The small bird was moving inside and I figured it was trying to get out of the shell so I peeled the shell off without issues. Then I had a slow, wriggling baby bird in my hand. Not sure what to do so I typed in YT: What to do if you find a baby bird and this is what I found: video that said try to make a nest in a planter pot or something that you can hang from the nest it came from. Well, all I had was an old food container and the tree was too tall to put it on the tree so I put some grass i yanked into the food container, and put the bird on the grass, then put the container on the chain link fence nearby. I also put some crushed crackers on the edge of the container to maybe attract any birds. I just pray 🙏 some birds will come and help the little baby. I was so sad and didn't know what else to do. I'm a trucker and am always in my truck. Just stopped to eat and that happened.
