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.

With most birds eggs nothing will happen, although, if you handle a birds egg too much the bird could dispense of the egg due to it not having the mothers scent on it.

Why do you never touch a birds nest?

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.

How can you tell if a morning dove egg is alive?

If it is out of the nest, it probably isn't alive. If it is in the nest I hope you didn't touch it. Touching it will cause mama bird to leave it and it will die.


If you put bread by the doves egg with the mom think it has human touch?

You should never put anything in a bird's nest, or disturb it in any way (including touching the nest)! Everything you touch has your scent on it. the bread will be somewhat useless to the dove in/owning the nest because it will probable smell you and abandon the nest. Your best bet is to leave the bread somewhere nearby-perhaps near the ground or somewhere at least 5 feet away from the nest. Remember, a bird will abandon a nest even if you startle her!
