Little Birdie-The Rescue
Adam was mowing the lawn today and called us three girls to the deck. When he was mowing he found this little bird on the ground and nearly ran over it. The birds were going crazy and closely followed Adam. The bird was found on the ground, near a tree and sure enough when we looked up we saw a nest. So I went to get a ladder and Adam set up to return the baby to the nest. On his climb he nearly fell but saved himself and with an outstretched reach returned baby bird to the nest. Now I have heard (and should confirm) that if baby birds (or nests) are touched by humans the parents will desert, leaving babies for death. So knowing that we would have never touched baby bird and we are hoping the parents are happy to have it back and continue to care for it.

In my experience growing up on the farm it really depends on the mama. As kids we messed with many bird nests, some didn't care at all and let us, some abandoned the nest, and the worst, some threw out the baby that was touched and we'd fine it dead on the ground :(
I wouldn't worry too much you did the best you could for it considering where it already was :)
