Bird parents typically prioritize feeding their chicks based on their size, health, and vocalizations. The loudest and most vigorous chicks often receive food first, as they signal their hunger and need for resources more effectively. Additionally, parents may instinctively choose to feed the weakest or smallest chick to ensure its survival, balancing the needs of all their offspring. This behavior helps maximize the overall survival of the brood.

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.
