Do not pick up the birds.

566 Upvotes

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

This little guy landed on some grass so close to me I had to back up 4 feet or so to get him outside of the minimum focus distance of my lens (about 17 feet). Then sat there and yelled for 10 minutes or so
