What to do if you find a house sparrow egg?

If you find a house sparrow egg, it is important to leave it alone. House sparrows are a protected species under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and it is illegal to disturb or harm them or their nests. If the egg is in danger of being harmed or destroyed, you can contact your local wildlife rehabilitator for assistance.

Here are some additional tips for what to do if you find a house sparrow egg:

* Do not touch the egg. The oils on your skin can damage the egg and make it inviable.

* Do not move the egg. Moving the egg can cause the parents to abandon the nest.

* If the egg is in a dangerous location, such as on the ground or near a predator, you can gently move it to a nearby, safe location. Be sure to wear gloves when handling the egg, and avoid touching it with your bare hands.

* You can also contact your local wildlife rehabilitator for assistance. A rehabilitator will be able to care for the egg and ensure that it hatches and survives.

House sparrows are important members of the ecosystem. They help to control insect populations and disperse seeds. By following these tips, you can help protect house sparrows and ensure that they continue to thrive.
