It is better to leave the boy who can appear on the floor
In the spring, the cities and villages of Spain are filled with life. It is the breeding season of many types of urban birds. In these weeks it is customary to find chicks in the bottom of parks, streets or gardens, especially species such as sparrows, swallows, planes, Mirlos or conquered.
Given this situation, these organizations are launching their campaign for another year “Don’t take it,” with the aim of preventing, with the best of intentions, young people from the natural environment are withdrawn without necessary. In most cases these chicks are not orphans or sick or abandoned, but are in a normal and necessary phase in their development.
Many bird species leave the nest before they can easily fly. During those days they stay on the floor or in low branches, while their parents continue to feed them and keep a close eye on them. The withdrawal of these young people from the natural environment interrupts this essential process of acquiring more independence and reduces their possibilities for survival.
Remember that the presence of young people on the ground is common and natural and requires observation without intervening, unless the bird is clearly injured or threatening. Every spring thousands of healthy offspring are brought to recovery centers by well -informed people who do not know that their presence on the ground is completely natural. Most do not have to be saved, so it is best to refrain from acting in order not to interrupt the natural care process.
Practical tips when they meet birds
- Observe remote: If the bird is not injured or in the further danger of predation, it is better not to intervene.

- Don’t take it home: Increasing wild birds without permission is prohibited and does not improve your well. But if you have to intervene, let it be protected in a place against predators and rolled traffic, a bush or a low tree can perform the function.
- Please contact a recovery center: Only if it is injured or clear danger.
The campaign is part of the urban biodiversity program of various environmental entities, which promotes coexistence in the most respectful urban environment with biodiversity. “The presence of young people on the ground is a sign that birds continue to raise in our cities, something positive that we have to improve and retain.”
They also remember the importance of maintaining urban vegetation in good condition during the breeding age, avoiding pruning or cleaning up that can destroy nests or jeopardize the young people. Urban birds not only enrich our neighborhoods with their presence and song, they are also connected in the ecological balance of cities. Urban and Fauna Urban Biodiversity improves mental health, helps regulating temperature, reducing pollution and prefers general well berries. Provide birds young – and their habitats – also ensures our own quality of life.
