Help !...I caught a babybird !...what do I do ?

Good luck little bird.  And incredible as this sounds... celot seems to be the most sensible of the lot of you.  

What celot says

It doesn't matter what you do Lola. The Greek Furies will determine the bird's fate.                                                                         (But just to be on the safe side, have your friend, Sister Mary what's her name say 3 Hail Mary's)

     LOLA!  OMG!!  I need your help    I found a....a.....a little ghost. I opened the door and there it was.   What do I do?????

I tried, but some people don't like to let go of it lol.

Yes, birds are well known (by old wives who tell tales) to have a powerful sense of smell.

Research has revealed that Turkey Vultures have an excellent sense of smell, but what about other species?  Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Starnberg, Germany have been studying smell-related genes in nine bird species representing seven major branches of the avian family tree.  Their results indicate that many birds may have an excellent sense of smell.  One of the best 'smellers' may be a large New Zealand parrot called a kakapo. The kakapo has 667 functional olfactory receptor genes, compared to about 400 in humans and 1000 in mice.

Off course they have sense of smell. How are they gonna smell stuff without it?

If ya can't smell you got no idea what you are eating. Ya gotta have a sense of smell.

Interesting.

Anyway, the link I posted a while ago (and I found a few others too) said it's a common myth that the parents wont accept the bird back into the nest after a human has touched it.

I was told this as a kid too FWIW -- that you shouldn't touch the baby bird.

I always heard this as well.

According to your link "Parent birds do not recognize their young by smell"

So they can smell, but maybe they just don't care what way their babies smell. So Lola could theoretically give the bird a good load of a lot of different perfumes and the parents wouldn't care.

Haha.

And because they smell so well, they'll probably appreciate their baby's refined, high class aroma.

By the way, when I was very young I splashed perfume on my dog's nose because I wanted him to have a smell... not a good idea

But I mean, us humans, we wouldn't also just abandon a baby just because it smelled funny. It would IMO be very harsh.

Mehtthinks maybe this myth is started by parents that try to get their kids to stop picking up baby birds - "don't take him, you'll kill it!".

lol what did the dog do?

take away feather, empty it, turn around thin bacon, make oven thermostat 7 temp. 150° C, cover with butter and film of oil, salt, mill pepper, garlic by hole on the back, provence herbs , (thyme, Rose Mary too, scarborough grs is optionnal), cook forty min. per 500 grams, according to the picture 5 minutes +), check if skin gold but not burned,  turn it twice minimum, serve ona caille aux grapes style, Gevrey chambertin wine.

Bon appétit, bien sûr..

No matter how flighty birds appear, they do not readily abandon their young, especially not in response to human touch, says Frank B. Gill, former president of the American Ornithologists' Union. "If a bird's nest is disturbed by a potential predator during the nesting or egg-laying stage," he says, "there's a possibility that [it] will desert and re-nest. However, once the young are hatched and feeding, [their parents are] by and large pretty tenacious."

(He also says they have bad sense of smell, but I think the other link i posted is more recent.)

Here is something LOla should definitely do: Make an X on the nest, just to be sure she knows what's going on there.

If you suspect that a rabbit's nest has been abandoned, the Humane Society recommends making an "X" out of yarn or string over the nest and checking approximately 10 hours later to see if it has been moved. If the X has been pushed aside but the nest is still covered, that's a good indication that the mother has returned, nursed her young, and then re-covered them. If the X stays in place for 12 hours after the traumatic event, it's likely that the young rabbits have been deserted.

I guess that's why I still remember... it screamed and yelped, ran around, and rolled all over the floor.

Apparently a large competent of any perfume is ethyl alcohol.

Some abusive trainers will even use this as punishment.

you can serve it with harry cover too, french fries no, chips amy be if u're in a hurry. (open the bag, it is ready).

For rabbits, we suggest civet, it is long but tasty. 

with thyme, see use in Simon and garfunkel recipt book called "are you going to Scarbourough field" ie how to use good freen gras of california in french cookin' style.

yes we could do a movie with birds diving on people,
