Good morning, I sadly discovered that the little nest I had been watching in my garden every morning now contains a dead check. The parents haven't removed it and don't seem to be about anymore even though they were here everyday bringing food to the chick. I'd like them to be able to use the nest again, should I remove the chick and if so do I have to wear gloves or do something to avoid putting human smell on the nest. I must say say that the stress of these times made me absolutely sob when I discovered the bird. It had been such a joy every morning to see the birds flit around in the garden and it just broke my heart.... I would love to attract another bird family if possible.
Thanks!
