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
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.
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.
This vidoe was very helpful to me so thank you for making it
I just found a robin's egg in the bird bath of our school's garden. This was a very helpful video. I am glad we watched it before making any decisions.
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 ❤

My dad brought in two little eggs. I can’t tell what bird they are exactly, but I just emailed my agricultural science teacher to see if he wanted to try and incubate them
NZ here..warning amazing story sad ending..💜.. A bird baby(fledgling) was lost in the road gutter ,of a buisy road in the front yard,I swooped over and (nuink) held him to my heart inside my hands,,everything today is secondary now.i made a shoe box ,prepared lil matt's of an old trackpants,an chilled online looking up baby birds,learned fledgling is the name,I tryed cat food an you know how it is they jus don't eat anything it seems ,that night was interesting,I stared in a caravan and baby bird got a fright after sleeping at 6pm light still,he flew n walked a bit an I scooped him up an settled him again,so I slept with him by my pillow despite internet warning about bust germs etc,he woke up more than expected,every 2 hours,an I had to change his nest,throw the used an place new one,and about 4-5am I woke up (I'm a night person by thee way) woke up and he was asleep standing,I changed the nest and he still needed persuading to sit again,but he did peep out of his eyes to check then.the next one was morning an I wanted him to eat,i let him out to between house,totra tree and corner long grass beside house door,other side bussy road no fence,I know,baby went to the tree,1meter away,I looked out after 1minute an say him peek tiny fling insects,an was delighted,still wanting him go have more,,after 30minutes,I got him in again,,then it came to me the idea to feed birds on the lawn,I threw out bread and half yeasterdays big Mac an let baby out ,he went to the tree ,5 birds an more around,eating ,an sparrows watching out for minas?,well I watched from window,baby peeking away,noticed the comoting 2minutes later,an hoped out 1foot then 2,the thing is that the same type of bird that is a boss lawn bird here in NZ, it threw a peice if burger meat at baby after there were looking at each other ,baby ate the meat an liked it ,then some bread,not as good,then this price towards me more,then was happy,I collected him soon after,the next day he went missing,an I went out instead of looking more..but he was just in the bushes,and didn't make it in the cold,I love this lil baby bird,an all birds, helping them is more than we knew ay.❤️🐣🐥🦆🐦 thanks again,
I found two mourning dove eggs and raised them and if you can’t raise them call a rehabilitation center, NO MATTER RARE OR NOT
You are major awsome bird mum lady,here for you them an us all💜❤️🙏🏿🙏🏽🙏...an you reading....story up one....
I just found an American Robin egg that I wish I could have helped in some way. Thank you for the video, I'll be reaching out to a family friend that is a rehabilitator to see if they can do anything!
Thank you so much this was so helpful this morning I found a Eastern bluebird egg and really wanted to help it but I was like let’s do some research first before I touch it
Lol same but I found different ones
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.
That is what I am looking for.
I just found a sparrow egg on my house's roof. I am confusing what to do
I think I found a morning bird egg on my walk this morning there’s no cracks in the egg it’s off-white it’s a translucent egg with fluid on the inside it’s shiny on the outside there’s no cracks and when I look around in the trees there’s no nests around what should I do with the egg? I’m halfway through watching your video right now as I write this
I constantly find Robin's eggs on the ground. But nothing comes from them when I incubate them . We have No Trees in our yard or anywhere on our property.
Why or what's up with them doing this?
Nice jadeite bowl
I just wanted to know how to keep it from dying
this is so cool!!!!....so many facts😎
It's been raining alot here in California, and my brother found a robin egg. 🥚🐣
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.
Oookkk! I guess I have to do the right thing here. This is the first bird egg I found and I was so ready to give it a shot but after watching this, I can understand how hard it would be and how illegal it actually is. I’m so sad though.
Today I found a next laying on the road and I think there is a bird egg in there and I took it home and put it on a tree and I don't know what to do.... please help me
I walked past a baby bird chirping in the grass… we left it came back a day later it was dead in the grass. Said we’d try to help next time
thanks
Stop, look , listen, I'll keep that in mind. 🧠🧠
So I recently found a tiny bird egg that fell out of it nest,sadly I think we cannot save it ,the egg broke and there’s no sign of movement so I was trying to see what I could do ,but I have no faith 😞
Today I found a baby bird egg in my front yard
This is a great video 🔥
And you can feed a robin cat food soaked in water AND doing what’s right is raising it, or at least taking it somewhere
mourning doves are not that hard Amazon sells squab mix which is fine for them
Three nights ago, a mother sunbird was calling to us at our front door, where she was nesting and sitting on an egg, she abandoned the nest becoz of green ants! Now she is building another, can I still save the egg and hatch it??
Would a blue egg in the street and only small tree no nest.then saw 2nd egg..they were warm in sun at home I nested then cloths,an they were cold wen checked, I'm going to cancel them, ihopi they are good and I hatch them,then the hard part feeding every 2 hours...blue eggs, I'll tell ya a story about last year...
i found my egg and the nest all splated on the floor all the eggs where crush only one egg remand
today I disturbed a blue jays nest that was in my mailbox. I built something and relocated the eggs, but I don't think the mother is coming back. any recommendation on what should I do. Ive stuff strays in the nest but I don't think that's gonna be warm enough. Should I take them inside to see what will happen or should I leave them in the nest I built? any help. Really hate that I disturbed this nest in my mailbox and I feel extremely bad...HELP PLEASE
I found one in the gutter
Sometimes life sucks. Should have just left it alone and posted a new mail box a fair bit away.
@@1BionicRooster1 and there are times when situations just isn’t ideal and buying $100 mailbox is one of them times. I didn’t leave it alone so I am seeking answers that make a little bit of sense. If you don’t have one just move on, thank though. Next mailbox event I’ll probably be doing the same thing by removing the eggs from it.
Mine nested in a fake tree And it fell over cause of the wind and the eggs cracked may they rest in peace 😭❤️❤️❤️
I found a bird nest with eggs under some plastic in my yard. I didn't touch the nest and left the eggs alone. I check to make sure the eggs are unbothered.
My egg is a Dove's egg but it has a hole in it but there are no signs of liquid also the egg is kinda heavy which is a tale tell that the egg could still have the yolk and whites. How do I check to see if it's fertile and what do I do if there's signs of birth defects if the egg is fertile? Any information helps thank you.
Ant’s may have ate it
@@Poisonivy8 Maybe. I kind of gave up on the egg after I found out it wasn't alive anymore. But thanks for the info.
This video is Only a warning & a lot of talk. Pretty much saying Stay away from birds eggs!! Obv it’s an er that’s why we’re searching...😮
Maam plz plz reply..dove leave 2 eggs in nest at my homes roof from last 10 days i notice that both doves are not visit in nest.. what can i do of 2 eggs can i hatch??
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.
Great question 👍
Pls can you give us an answer as i have the same question as above ?
Just found an egg I'm pretty sure it's a House sparrow idk what to do so I've watched a bunch of videos
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
lady cover your peptalk fast ... poor babies are dying
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.
I just discovered that the egg had a hole, green ants ate it 😔
OK so ive regime and now I feel extra bad. what should I do?
I found a baby bird egg
Can someone help me FAST, I have blue eggs 🪺 in my patio the bird mother seats on the nest 🪹 all day, but I was walking and she got scared and flew away from the nest and it was the evening and she still didn’t come back. Is she ever will return for her eggs I feel so bad?
Sunbirds
Finally I can tell people it's a house sparrow that law doesn't apply please don't stop me from doing my job and removing the bird nest.
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.
I found a bird nest on the street by the mailbox at my neighbors. And a couple blue eggs. I’m watching this video in hopes to do hire out what to do. I cannot just leave it here!
I found an egg idk what to do
