[QUOTE="totoro, post: 279713, member: 3155"] You know Susie I was taught the same thing. SO each time I have had to save them, I did it quickly and with gloves on. But the time with the Swallows I relocated them into a whole new box with an old nest. So I think the drive to take care of their young outweighs that theory? With some birds. It was a Swallow box that I relocated them in... they had been in a electrical box that got left open by a technician, the eggs hatched and the parents were getting in anytime the box would blow open! The babies had made it quite a while... The parents were dive bombing us and I finally figured it out, but it still took me 2 days to catch them, 3 of them! I have pictures of there progression into flight! So far this little Sparrow is doing fine! :) I have seen this done with Eagles in Idaho as well when a nest blows over. [/QUOTE]
