At first we stayed clear to see what would happen, but after a while I couldn't stand their distress anymore and I decided to pick the baby bird up and put it back in it's nest.
The rest of Saturday and Sunday we didn't see any of the birds around and the nest seemed deserted. But I still hoped...
This morning I found the dead baby bird beneath the tree. I still don't know if it died from injuries sustainded from falling out of it's nest, or if the parents deserted it because I touched it. I hope it is not the latter...
We buried the dead bird under the tree.

oh, so sad... I think, unfortunately, nature takes its course whether we try to make it better ourselves or not.
For what it's worth, most birds don't have a sense of smell, so wouldn't be able to smell your scent on the baby bird.
Hi
Thanks for sharing that - it does make me feel a little bit better!
How did you come across my blog?
