4. The video said 2 weeks. Isn't that amazing?

They're so adorable and look so serious.

6. The difference between baby mammals and baby birds is...

…intriguing.

IMO, most newborn and very young mammals are absolutely adorable. Most baby birds are not very cute at first.

5. How wonderful!

I was always told as a child to not touch the baby birds/animals because if they smelled of a human's touch, the mom would abandon them. I'm so glad it's not true!

9. Yes, the human smell thing is an old wive's tale. Most birds don't have

highly developed sense of smell.

Notable exception: carrion eaters. They are attracted to rotting flesh!


Most birds, if they do abandon the nest or babies, it's because they became overly spooked by human interference.
My personal experience is that it takes quite a lot to scare them off. The parental instinct is strong!
