Back in the 1960s my family was on a camping trip in Yosemite. We were excited to see a bird's nest over our campsite and looked forward to watching the little family for a week. But it soon became evident that mama was tangled in something. She would try to fly off but was tethered to the nest by a string or ribbon. We alerted a park ranger who said, That's nature; leave it alone. We and other campers were quite distressed by this and finally, to everyone's relief, another park ranger climbed a ladder and freed her. Thank you for freeing Biddy! It's not always in an animal's best interests to intervene, but sometimes it's just obvious.

[@FionnODonoghue]

Thank you for that 😁

This may sound _very_ harsh but I am convinced that you did the right thing by letting nature take its course. You gave the chicks a chance, the mother didn't return so... there was no way for them. As cruel as this may sound this is what nature is all about: only the strong survive.

I know technically your meant meant let nature run its course, couldn't just watch her struggle, I had help and the chick was already dead which made it easier as I didn't have to have its well being on my mind atleast, I used nail clippers and snipped the hairs that was tangling her rather than untangled as It was the quickest solution for the bird I thought !

Once love doves made a nest on a fur tree right in front of my kitchen window. I was watching them build the nest, make eggs, nurse the babies. I think after 1 month babies were quite grown and a magpie appeared and ate both of them. She ate them early morning while we were sleeping, so one morning i woke up and saw an empty nest. I thought chicks left the building, but when i came out i saw a small corpse and a magpie sitting on the roof. It came later to inspect the nest once more. And poor mother was coming and looking for babies. It breaks my heart still. I was crying and so sad for a long time. Remembering them still makes me sad. I m glad doves never made nest there again, would be too much to experience that again

Could a young man have a bigger heart? Such a nice contrast to so many other behaviors we get spoon-fed every day. Inspired.

I'm so glad you intervened!

Really getting tired of the comments about not helping the chicks. Did no one look at the time stamp before typing? Even if it was not early morning, he can't monitor them 24/7. It's so easy to judge from behind a keyboard. (I say as I also key this in....) How many of the trolls here have ever built a bird house or thought to capture it on film so the world could see? Keep your chin up. Watching nature can be amazing and also break your heart in a second ...
