i wouldn't if i were you, but as far as i know if the bird is caused no unnesacery pain then its ok. but i'd look into it a bit more. =]
don't do it man!
Not knowing the size of the bird or the location it was found in (habitat and geographic) makes it a little bit harder to identify, but it is possible this could be a great kiskadee, one of the kingbirds, one of the vireos, a meadowlark, or a goldfinch. I really do not have enough info to answer your question. Was it a songbird or a waterbird? Did you see it in the forest or in the meadow? Do you live in D.C. or in Texas? I need to know a lot of stuff to be able to positively identify the bird. However, I can direct you to a good site for bird ID (See the related links).
How many times a minute does a humming bird flap its wings?
well depending how long they live for? one second they can flap their wings 90 times per second so you do the math per minute 60x90= 5400 times in a minute. so you can work the rest out! Hope i Helped your question!
What kind of bird has a red y shape on back of head and a black triangle on chest?
Your description is unfortunately fairly vague - it would help if you could give the approximate size of the bird, whereabouts you saw it (habitat, region of the US/world), what it was doing, etc.
However, based on your description, I would assume it is a Northern Flicker. If you look for it in a field guide, it is with the woodpeckers.

Yes they will because the scent that humans give off is the total opposite of the scent that the baby birds normally have. The mother will not feed her babies if they have human scent and the babies will die.

Does any body have a template for making a robins nest box?
How to Make a Robin Nest Box
Robins build nests in trees or on other structures. Some of us naturally think that the robins that make their nests in the most natural settings will have better success than those that nest on houses. Sure enough, once in a while a baby robin crashes to a hard cement patio and dies when it first fledges from a nest built on a porch light. Baby robins in tree nests have far softer landings in the branches below their nest branch.
Nest Boxes Can Help Protect Baby Robins
A problem even more dangerous to baby robins than falling is predation, especially by American Crows. Most crows are reluctant to come too close to buildings, so robins that nest on porch lights, window sills, eaves, and other spots on houses are usually safe from them. Robins nesting on buildings are often easy to study during their nesting period. If you want to study nesting robins, getting them to nest in a box or other structure can be good for you AND good for the robins!
Problems associated with robins nesting on houses:
- Robin adults may attack people who come too close. If you put up a nest shelf, you might want to locate it on a side of the house that gets little human traffic.
- Robins may discover their reflection in a window, and start attacking it. This happens as often with robins nesting in trees as on houses. To deal with that issue, see Help! There's a Robin Hitting My Window!
- Baby robins may crash to hard cement below. If you want to put up a nest platform above a deck, patio, sidewalk, or other hard surface, a few days before the babies are due to fledge you might want to put a wheelbarrow or wagon filled with something soft below.

How do you tell the difference between a male and female bluejay?
The queen and all workers are female; the males are the drones.
Drones' eyes are about twice the size of those of worker bees, and drones have fatter and heavier bodies than workers, but not as large as the queen.
Storks wade in shallow water, feeding on fish, frogs, large insects and mollusks. They will sometimes keep their heads underwater and wait for fish to come by. Storks may stir up the mud with one of their very large feet in order to bring small mollusks or other prey close to the surface. They may not be beautiful birds in the usual sense, but watching a colony of them moving slowly through shallow waters as they feed is a marvelous sight. Unfortunately, wood stork numbers in the US have been declining in recent years, and in June 2014 they were declared endangered.
Some large birds of prey, such as Hawks, Peregrine Falcons, Ospreys will eat Owls. Also Foxes, Weasels, Wolves and other land carnivorous will eat owls if they can catch them, particularly the sick or young Owl, as well as those that have fallen to the ground and can not get away again. Ravens and Crows have also been known to pick of the sick birds or even eat those that have recently died. these are a couple of animals that eat owls.
