Consequently, what to do if a bird's nest falls with eggs?

Also, do birds abandon their eggs if you touch them? Just before contact, her father's voice booms: "Don't touch that bird!" According to folklore, birds will reject their eggs and young if humans have so much as laid a finger on them. Actually, birds have relatively small and simple olfactory nerves, which limit their sense of smell.
Similarly one may ask, will birds come back to nest if touched?
Most of the birds people find are fledglings. If you can find the nest (it may be well hidden), put the bird back as quickly as possible. Don't worry—parent birds do not recognize their young by smell. They will not abandon a baby if it has been touched by humans.”
How long can bird eggs survive without their mother?
Up to seven days as long as the eggs are stored in the appropriate conditions, below 17 degrees centigrade, in a clean environment and turned daily they will last for seven days without any loss of hatch success.
