A bird made a nest in our chimney. Yesterday the nest fell with babies in it. The nest is now in our fireplace. We boarded off the fireplace to protect the birds from our dogs. We hear chirping a lot now and mommy bird is still feeding them in our fireplace. One of our dogs got in the fireplace before we boarded it up. A baby bird scrambled, and my boyfriend put it back in the nest.

Panic roared in. Would the mother bird be afraid of her baby or not feed it because a human had touched it? We worried, so I Googled it. Yay, Google! It is a myth. The parents will not abandon this tiny baby bird. We hear the adult birds as they fly down the chimney and into the fireplace for a feeding. The chirping stops after the babies are fed. Nap time.
