If you touch a baby bird the mother will reject it because it will smell like a human

This misconception has probably caused the death of many baby birds if people see naked or partially naked bird on the ground and think to touching her will do harmif a young bird is fallen from the nest it,s fine to handle the bird to put her back in the nest most birds don,t have a developed sense of smell so it,s likely that the parent bird won,t smell you at all.
