You should not do this - but the mother will continue to look after the remaining birds.

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.

If a brooding bird is disturbed, it may abandon the nest, and the eggs will not hatch.


One baby bird is missing from the nest and you are wondering if it is all right?

Hmmm. I assume this is a wild bird nest? Chances are, it either fell out of the nest, successfully managed to fly out of the nest, or was eaten by a predator. Either way, there's not much you can do. If by chance you DO see it on the ground, pick it up and put it back in the nest. Unlike mammals, birds generally cannot smell very well, and will NOT abandon it because you touched it. However, hovering around the nest or trying to take care of a baby bird WILL cause more harm than good.

Can you move a robins nest with babies in it?

Nothing will happen. Trust me. When people say that if you touch a nest full of baby birds the mother will abandon it, its not true. Some people believe that or parents just say that to little kids to keep them from touching it. Mother birds will NOT abandon their young if you touch or even handle the chick. I know first hand because as a teen I wanted to become a vet and I hatched a robin egg. Once it hatched I put it back into its mothers nest. I watched the nest and she always came back. Even if I came close or even touched to check the chick I hatched. It eventually grew up and flew away. So, don't believe it if you touch baby birds that the mother will abandon it. Its NOT true!


If the female bird is on the nest where does the male bird go?

He will stand on the edge of the nest or prehaps he could hunt for good. If the mother bird is pregenet, she will need the nest more. Hope that helps! :D

You can, but I wouldn't recommend it. All of the traffic might keep the mother from sitting on the nest.


How does a mother bird push her baby out of the nest?

A mother bird encourages her baby to leave the nest by reducing the amount of food she brings, making the nest less comfortable, and sometimes even nudging or pushing the baby out gently. This helps the baby bird learn to fly and become independent.
