Thank you for your questions... and for caring about wildlife and our shared environments.
Q: If I handle a baby bird, will its parents reject it because they can smell a human presence?

Squirrel Rescue
Eddie called us when he found a nest of baby squirrels after a tree in his yard had been cut down. We told him to put the babies in a box and cut a hole in the box large enough for mama squirrel to slip through. It worked! Mama squirrel came back and relocated all four of her babies to a safe location. Well done, Eddie!
Also if mother does not return go to Youtube and play baby squirrel cries for 45 minutes to see if this helps the mother locate the babies.

Help Rescue Injured Adult Birds
If you find young birds in distress, here's how you can help rescue them.
Nestlings (young, featherless birds that have pink skin) should be put back in their nests if possible. If the nest has dropped to the ground, gather as much of the nest material as possible. Punch holes in the bottom of a small plastic container, or use a basket with natural materials. Set the container under tree limbs to protect the babies from rain, sun or predators.

Help Rescue Injured Adult Birds
Here are a few tips to help you rescue injured adult birds.
Putting a towel over the bird calms it. Be aware of where its head and beak are to eliminate injury to the bird and yourself, then place the bird in a box, under an upside-down laundry basket or in a pet crate. Leave the towel around the bird, especially if it is wet or cold.
