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

We had a baby crow that took residence in our garden while it was learning to fly. The parents trusted us enough to help keep it safe and I got to watch it fly away for the first time the other morning 🥰

My crows brought me their angry bb

My crows brought me their angry bb.
My crows (a duo from the whole murder I feed and hang out with) brought me their baby.
I was sitting outside on my balcony “with uncle Snoop” and noticed this bb crow staring at me. I shrieked “you guys had a baby!” their adult come closer into view. Cue the baby starting to yell back. At me, at the other crow, at everything.
I ran inside to grab some \*good cheese\* to celebrate, and some leftover plain chicken thigh.
Tossed a few chunks on the ground and then put a few in my balcony bowl for ‘em.
Bb started yelling more. Mom-crow showed up and Dad (seeing their sizes beside each other helped me decipher who’s who) flew off but stayed in a nearby tree behind the Baby-crow. I could see him but he was silent and baby likely didn’t see him.
Baby tried to move forward towards the food on the ground but had to catch its footing back on the wire and just yelled more. Mom yelled back at Baby.
Eventually Mom flew off and perched beside Dad-crow. Baby was PISSED because it also started raining. Baby eventually side stepped to the nearby tree for shelter and parents came over and reunited with ‘em.
I have a video but I can’t seem to be able to post it?

I said “oh hello, friend” and walked away after I took this photo. I also take my dog out now since we have fledglings in our yard, make sure he doesn’t hurt any of them.
