I would save any animal if I could, but I think with most birds, if their babies are touched by a human, the parents will smell it and they will reject them. Thank you!

Birds don't have a great sense of smell. It seems to be a myth that birds don't care for their young after being touched by humans.

Interesting.
Not always - I put some birds back in the nest with my gloves and they were fine - I will not be able to just leave it
I didn't know that gloves would work. I'll certainly try then if I have the opportunity to save one. Thanks for the advice!
