Your human scent will rub off on the egg, prompting the mother to leave it. She will never return for fear of human contact. The chick inside the egg will eventually die from predation or exposure to the elements.

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.

What happens if you soak an egg in maple syrup?
When an egg is placed in Kary syrup the egg releases the water inside of it to achieve diffusion. There is a higher concentration of water in the egg than in the Karo syrup. When you touch the egg after it was left in the Karo syrup overnight you will find that it collapses under your touch because it has lost some of its volume (the water). The egg will also shrink in size.
Is it ok to take one egg from a birds nest?
No! Of course not! Once you touch a birds nest to take one egg, your smell is all over. This might cause the mother to abandon the nest. Then, when the other eggs hatch, there will be no food source and they will all end up dying.
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.
Is it OK to touch an egg after it has been lay-ed?
NO definitely not if you were to touch the eggs no matter how old it is, the parents would kill and eat the baby. The reason for this is, once you touch an egg and the parents are still around you leave your human scent on the egg which will then mix the scents of the baby and you. Once that happens the parent cant tell if the egg is theres or not so they kill it,which means you should just let the parents do all the touching.
