Baby birds
Parents will not abandon baby birds after they have been touched by humans, but whether you found a baby bird in your garden, or your cat brought one home as a gift, it is important to think before rushing in to help. Make sure you ask yourself "should I try to help this baby bird?", and that you are properly prepared to do so.
