What to do if you find a nestling on the ground?
In spring, young birds sometimes leave the nest before they can fly. Even on the ground, they are rarely abandoned: their parents usually continue to feed them.
Don’t pick them up automatically! Before intervening, ask yourself:
Is the bird injured?
Is it in immediate danger?
Is it truly alone?
Case 1: Fully feathered nestling
➡️ It’s hopping on the ground but not yet flying — it’s close to nestling.
➡️ Leave it where it is. If the area is dangerous (road, cats, etc.), move it nearby to a safe spot such as a branch, low wall, hedge, or bush.
Case 2: Partially feathered or downy chick
➡️ If possible, place it back in its nest.
➡️ If the nest is destroyed or can’t be found, create a makeshift one using a small box and place it near where you found the chick.
Case 3: Naked chick (less than a week old)
➡️ Return it to the nest immediately.
➡️ If the nest is unreachable, place the chick in a box with a warm water bottle and contact a licensed wildlife rescue center as soon as possible.
👉 Touching a chick will not cause its parents to abandon it.
