Not the band (theres a band right?) This morning at 5am I found a baby bird in my garden,theres a nest next door but I dont know how it found its way over the fence ,I donned some Oven Gloves and a Sandwich Box and put it back its nest.All day today its Mum has being going mental and making a right row,so much so that ive not been able to go outside. Went out for a fag tonight and found it again  Tupperwared it up and stuck it back in its nest(no oven gloves this time I actually touched it...yuck) Its pretty grown up but cant fly,its wings are to small.I tried feeding it some mince but it wasnt interested.Do you think its parents might be rejecting it because I touched it?

I think I heard the rejection if you touch them thing is a bit of a myth. Might be wrong though.

We've taken several to a wildlife sanctuary locally recently, they do a great job if you have one nearby, as doubt it will survive without help now.

Feed it (maybe not mince) Care for it, raise it as one of your own and then cook it for one of your self acclaimed famous roast dinners.

But its parents are seriously plucky. If I find it again im going to raise it as my child. Incidently my Devil Dog Staffie found it for me both times by sitting there looking at it and whining  |

Is that a young starling YB? We had a similar experience a few years ago. Sometimes they leave the nest too soon or are encouraged out. We were advised to leave it to the parent birds to look after, but there was a cat lurking so we had to rescue it. We couldn't find the nest so left it outside and kept an eye on it, unfortunately the parent birds disappeared so we took it to a wildlife rescue place.
What's with the garden sacks?
