Reuniting chicks with their family

Every year in spring and summer many chicks are rescued unnecessarily by well-meaning people. A common myth is that birds won’t accept their chicks back after being touched by humans.
Reuniting a chick with its family gives it the best chance of survival. Even with the best care, we cannot teach them the essential life skills for their species. Read on for guidelines on if you need to bring a baby chick in to care.
