Why do people abandon their nests when they touch them?

Animals have an instinct for self-protection and defense. When a baby is placed in an unfamiliar environment and does not see familiar people around, he generally does not dare to cry loudly, and he will instinctively realize that crying loudly at this time may invite danger. Abandonment of the nest is also a kind of self-protection instinct, and when it finds that its nest has been passive, it will consider it a signal of danger in the surrounding environment, and thus produce temporary or permanent abandonment of the nest.

In fact, it is rare for parent birds to abandon their nests.

Some people say that a bird's nest that has been touched by a person will leave a human smell, and the bird can smell it. In fact, birds still rely on vision to observe whether the nest has signs of passivity, rather than relying on smell.

If you find a nestling in the nest, if you are worried that they have been abandoned by the parent bird and want to take them home to raise, do not act lightly. In the case of nestlings in the nest, the parent birds generally do not abandon the nest, even if they are not in the nest, they may observe the situation on the side of the nest not far away, and they will continue to nurse their babies. If you bring the chicks back, it should not be better than the parent birds, and it is even likely that they will not be able to raise them.

In my experience, most parent birds abandon the nest after touching a bird's nest, which is a defensive instinct of animals. Because after touching the bird's nest, the bird's nest will remain on the smell of human hand sweat and body odor, and the parent bird will abandon the bird's egg or even abandon the bird's nest after smelling it, and then build the nest again, using this method to avoid enemies.

Every spring, it is the season for birds to build their nests. In order to maintain the population of wild birds in Lucha, we should avoid conflicts with their lives as much as possible. During this period, we should try to minimize disturbance to wild birds and avoid touching the nest or touching the nest.

First of all, the nest is the home of the birds and their safe haven, so we should not destroy or interfere with them. Our disturbance may cause damage or even death to the eggs or small birds of wild birds, which in turn will affect the balance of the entire wildlife ecosystem.

Secondly, touching the nest can also make the bird feel threatened, in which case the bird may be frightened and not return to their nest. In order to find a nesting site, many birds will constantly patrol and build "anti-nests" around the area to mislead potential predators or disturbers, which will adversely affect their nesting and hatching.

Finally, any action involving wildlife conservation should be guided by laws and regulations. If we illegally damage or interfere with a wild bird's nest, we may be punished by law. We must be aware of the impact our actions can have on the world around us and on wildlife.

In short, keep your hands from touching the nest and let them survive the breeding season safely, all our efforts will help maintain the ecological balance.

The bird does not enter the nest for a day or does not feed the bird, indicating that the nest is abandoned, pay attention to choose the appropriate nest according to the size of the bird, and you can also place some toys or food that the bird likes in the cage, and induce the bird into the nest through these methods.

If the bird does not enter the nest for a day, it means that the nest has been abandoned. If you don't feed the birds in the nest, you will abandon the nest. If the bird does not enter the nest, the space may be too small, pay attention to choose the appropriate nest according to the size of the bird.

Keepers can also put some toys and foods that birds like in the cage, and they can also raise another bird of the opposite sex in the nest to induce the bird into the nest.

Sometimes it is normal for a bird to be reluctant to enter the nest, do not force it into the nest at the beginning, the keeper can let it look at the new nest every day, and when it is familiar with the new nest, it will not reject the new nest.
