They will most likely quack!

Then you will most likely be pecked by the mother if she is around. But if you are alluding or referring to the old wives tale that you touch a bird, or duck in this case, that the mother will kick them out of the nest, here's your response...

Absolutely nothing! The old wives tale states that if you touch a baby bird, an egg or even a nest that the mother bird will stop feeding the chick, kick the egg out of the nest or abandon the nest. This is a myth, and is completely false.

That doesn't mean that there isn't some bird out there who's done it before, or even that a human witnessed it, but it's a safe bet that the reasons it may have been done were other factors. Most baby birds in the wild smell worse than your grubby little fingers, so don't worry about that.


I do not recommend going out and touching birds and nests or eggs for sport now since it won't affect the feeding of the chick, it is wise to let them be. Some mothers will peck at you or attack you if you get too close to their nest. So unless the baby bird is in danger or potential danger, such as falling out of a tree on the side of the road or something, leave them be! But don't ground Johnny for a week because he came home and told you (mom) that he touched a baby bird! Be happy he's curious about nature and not playing video games!!
