Concerned nature lovers are being urged to stay away from baby birds that appear to be stranded on the ground this summer. The RSPB says fledglings often spend several days on the ground after leaving the nest, but humans may think the birds have been abandoned and rush to help. The young birds are not stranded and have not been ditched by their parents. Fledglings are young birds with all or most of their adult feathers that have just left the nest. The RSPB cares for around 1,400 of these young birds every year.
