    Some birds do the exact opposite: if they see that a human has touched their chick (even if they just leave it in the same place afterwards) they might reject it and stop feeding it.

    Apparently this is an urban myth.

        Well, I was teached that by my parents, but because of your post I looked it up and apparently, as you say, that’s not true.

        So cheers for getting me to check it!
