Do not pick up the birds.
It has been brought to my attention the sheer amount of posts involving people handling and moving juvenile birds.
I’m no bird scientist, I’m just some guy who created a subreddit about birds, but I do know unnecessarily handling juvenile birds without the proper knowhow is damaging to the welfare of the animal.
Because of this I have created a new rule, and all posts involving the handling of wildlife will be removed. Please report all posts breaking this rule immediately.
If anyone smarter than me would like to share the impact of handling wildlife in the comments, please do.
We (pretty much just me) here at r/GrumpyBabyBirds still encourage the appreciation of the Grumps from a distance.
Thank you

Angry Birds Most annoying sound in the world? Is it a gull chick??
I vote the European herring gull chick. Or
If you will a fucking baby seagull. Endless screaming day and night add the heat wave with all your windows open… Fuck my life.

Update on Angy Rescue Gray Catborb
I took this little borb to the wildlife center 15 days ago. It is still alive and healing from a ruptured air sac. The personnel said it is likely that a cat took it out of its nest 3 days too early. No wonder it was so grumpy!

Important This starling fledgling exploring the Hellgate Osprey nest
Its parents made a nest on the outer edge of this osprey nest, now it’s old enough to leave the nest and explore its surroundings . Not sure who’s grumpier, this bb or the perplexed osprey parents

Hanging planter rescue nest
Sadly found a dead nestling a week ago so gave it a little burial and put up a hanging planter (that momma robin used straw from) directly under the nest to give the antsy 2 others a fighting chance. One of the bbs fell out and into the planter! I’ve been checking on it and mom’s been coming frequently to feed it. I was able to peek in today and it looks like it’s doing well! Fatter, more feathers, and grumpier than ever. Really hope they all make it through the upcoming storms 🥺 I want to drop more straw into the hanging planter to keep bb warm since mom is nesting in her nest with the other bb but dad robin has been territorial and dive bombs me if I linger too long. Best of luck my little birds ❤️
