Myth # 4
Wild birds will not return to a fallen nest if it is put back into place – FALSE
Wild birds will absolutely return to a fallen nest, especially if called by
their hungry babies. If a bird’s nest is knocked to the ground, return it near it’s original location. If the nest is damaged, the remaining material can be put inside a container with drainage holes (e.g. strawberry container) and wired into place near the original location. Set the babies back into the nest and watch from a distance to make sure the parents find the nest. The parents should return before nightfall.
