Why do you never touch a birds nest?
You should NEVER touch a bird's nest, because the nest has bird scent all over it and if a human hand or human scent comes in contact with it, the birds will sense that and never return to the nest even if the eggs or babies are in it.
Can you move a birds nest with chicks in it?
I wouldn't. If the nest is moved, and with human scent on it, the mother bird will usually abandon it. Leave it be until the baby birds are kicked out to fly on their own. Then it can be removed.
Should i protect a birds nest outside our bedroom window from the rain and how?
No, you should leave the nest alone. Wild birds are very skittish around humans, treating humans as predators, and may abandon the nest if the scent of a human becomes too close. This would result in any eggs already laid in the nest also being abandoned and dying. The birds that built the nest either expect the nest to be protected from the rain or are adapted to sitting out the rain on the nest.

If a baby bird falls out of the nest is it okay to place it back in and will the parent then kill it?
Yes, it's OK to place a fallen baby bird back in the nest. It's a myth parent birds will kill babies that have human scent on them. The parents will care for it if the baby bird isn't ill. Baby birds often end up out of the nest because parent birds "kick" them out due to illness. Seems cruel, but it's how Mother Nature works.
Can a human being make a birds nest?

What happens when you touch a bird nest?
If you touch a birds nest then they will not go in or touch it they would leave it alone because they made the nest and placed it in a spot and want it like that. They do not wont you to move anything they did.Answer 2:Actually the above answer has it quite wrong. If you handled the nest quite a bit the parents certainly won't come back to it again, but simply touching it won't deter them from coming back again! It's just like the myth about a baby bird. If you handle it a lot most certainly the parents won't take it in because it's got human scent all over it. If you handle it with gloves or only merely touch it, the parents of that chick will still come back to it.
