Learn the real story behind some of the most common wildlife myths
For instance:
Myth No. 3: If you touch a baby bird, the parents will abandon it.
Fact: Birds have a limited sense of smell but are strongly bonded to their chicks. Parents will not abandon chicks handled by humans.
The best thing humans can do if a baby bird falls from its nest – and is not well feathered and clearly learning how to fly – is to put him back in it. Watch carefully: The parents will return to feed him.
