Almost no birds have a significant sense of smell, so touching a baby bird does no harm at all. Millions of baby birds have been removed from nests all over the world for ringing, a few hundred by me, and the parents know nothing about it.

∙ 10y agoyou should never touch a toad or frog with your bare hand. When the oils on your skin touch the toad, the oils will irritate its skin. So always wear gloves or pick it up with a paper towel

Why should you never touch birds' eggs?
It is often said that if you touch a bird's eggs or nest or the nestlings, the mother bird will abandon the nest. But, this is really not the case. That myth has been told for a very long time but, if you are careful, and do not overly disturb the nest, you will not cause the nest to be abandoned if you replace a fallen nestling in the nest or help the birds in some other way. There are, however, other reasons not to touch wild bird eggs, nests, or the birds themselves and those are to protect you from bacterial or viral diseases that may be carried on the feathers of the birds or on the nest and egg shells. You should never touch a dead bird with bare hands and always wash your hands well with soap and water immediately after any contact with areas that may be contaminated by birds or their feces.
What to do for a baby bird fallen out of nest?
It depends on the age of the bird. If you know for sure its a baby bird, if possible, wait until you see the mother bird. Often if will carry it to a safer place and bring it food until it learns to fly. If it is injured or the mother bird abandons it, call a local bird sanctuary or take the bird there. But be carefull not to stress the baby bird out too much or it will die. What ever you do, do not put the bird back in its nest or touch it. Usually, if not all the time, the mother bird will reject the baby and let it die. Its better not to take the chance. Also it's illegal to take care of a baby bird without an license.

Do baby birds die if you tuch their egg before they hatch?
You shouldn't move them because it could ruin their growth and don't touch them or the egg could break...so just don't touch the egg. If you did touch an egg in a bird's nest, you probably did no harm, but you must stay away from them. Human curiosity and small, delicate bird's eggs in the wild don't mix very well.
