Baby Birds
"When You Should-and Should Not-Rescue Baby Birds" by Benji Jones.   ​See this article from Audubon for insight into determining if a bird needs rescued.  
​During the spring and summer, you may find a baby bird. In this case it is important to watch for the parents. Young birds can fall out of a nest, but will still be cared for by the parents. If you know where the nest is, and it is safe to do so, replace the baby in the nest. It is a fallacy that the parents will ignore the chick if it has the scent of a human. Before proceeding with a rescue, be sure the bird needs to be rescued. Humans will never be able to raise a young bird as well as its own parents.
