If the Bird Is Hopping Around
When a baby bird gets too big for the nest and needs to move around, they’re in the fledgling state. They’re teenagers, so they can have some time away from their parents. They need to flap their wings and learn to fly, but they have to leave the nest to do so. The best thing to do for these birds is to leave them be. They may have left the nest to hide from a predator. Their parents are nearby and will respond when it’s safe. You shouldn’t touch the bird. Trust in the parent’s nature to raise their young. Teach your children.If the Bird Doesn’t Have Feathers
Younger birds without feathers are called nestlings. Their eyes may not be open. They do need their nest, but they were dislodged for some reason. The nest could have been destroyed by predators or the wind might have blown the nest down. While these birds do need assistance, it should be from a professional. Call a wildlife technician who can remove the bird safely and humanely.If the Bird Is Injured
