Hi!
No time, photo of myself will be posted soon and kiriban 833 333 is extremely close.
Today no photos, I need to share important thing!
People, it is spring and wild animals have babies.
PLEASE! If you find some baby animals in the wild, do NOT come close to them, and ABSOLUTELY do NOT touch them!
Baby animals often seem to be abandoned, but in fact, they do what they are supposed to do: they hide in the grass without moving, waiting for their mother, who is in fact close to them. Baby deers, baby rabbits and another animals do NOT stay with their moms all the time! Their moms feed themselves and then they come to their babies to feed them with milk.
IF YOU TOUCH THOSE BABIES, mothers are scared by human scent, leaving the babies to die!
Every year, workers of all stations for handicated animals are sad and frustrated, because people bring baby animals to them, saying ,,I found this baby deer in grass, it was so alone." If those people saw those babies and went away without touching them, mothers would come back to their babies. But instead, they touched the babies so those animals are lost for their mothers and nature :///
Every year, I see photos of kids and young people on DA, where those persons touch and even hold baby deers, saying ,,omg, I found this cutie on my yard, it was so cuteeeeeeh!!!"
People, such activity is in fact a DEAD hug for those cuteeeeeeh animals.
So:
If you find a baby wild animal, GET AWAY IMMEDIATELY.
Please, do NOT touch that baby.
Mother is probably very close - if you touch her baby, she will be scared, very probably leaving it.
You surely do not want to make the mother lose her calf!
If you are worried, try to get to some
distant place (mother should not know about your presence - remember that she smells your scent!!!!) with view and wait to see if the mother really comes back. It might take hours.
You are ONLY supposed to take a baby to some station for handicaped animal, if the baby is obviously injured or ill. If you find a dead deer as a road kill with an abandoned foal staying near, it is the perfect situation to find the specialist. If you find your cat attacking some baby rabbits or so, it is also good to call the specialist.
Remember - the fact, that the baby does not run away from you, is NOT a sign of an illness - it is an instinct. The baby is supposed to stay still without moving!
A bit different rule comes for baby birds:If you find alive baby bird without feathers under the nest, you CAN touch it, bringing it back to the nest.
The baby bird could fall down by accident, so by moving it back, you can save its life.
Adult birds are not that sensitive about human scent
If you find a baby bird WITH feathers, who has troubles with flying, do not get nervous.
Parents are usually close, still feeding the baby who is just learning to fly after leaving the nest.
You can help by moving the baby from the road to the grass.
And if you are still worried, keep distance and wait to see, if parents really come to this baby bird.
Please, keep those rules.
For me as an animal lover, it is heart-breaking to see all those photo of happy people holding wild baby deers, because I know which troubles it brings

I really appreciate it! 
, of course!
, please 
it is MUCH more than my photos usually have! 
but yeah, I will buy it, I think. I definitely visit this ZOO more often than just six times a year 
two more days and it would kill me 
haha, from some 5500 points, I have 500 left now 
Though luckily I don't have to worry about baby animals near my house. Too many large dogs and a really big cat for a mother to feel safe enough to leave her young around. The only birds we have nesting nearby are a pair of cardinals, and they wont last long if my wolfhound finds them(for a large dog she's very adept at catching small birds) I also have a cat with a fondness for baby mockingbirds, which is odd because mockingbirds are known to attack cats on sight.
Mothers of small animals will not get frightened just because of your presence or because you touched their cub/chicken!
However it is unwise to handle wild animal babies. First - you can simply scare the mother away. Smaller animals may not try to return to get their babies.
Second - if it is a bigger animal, you can simply get attacked. Starting from dogs, crows, foxes and badgers and ending with hogs, bears and moose. Injuries& diseases.
Everything else you said is true though.
.. without nothing to say I show you this mother that would never abandon her cub [link]
Case closed.

Just the other day a friend of mine found her cat stalking a baby bird and thought it had been abandoned. When she called a bird sanctuary, they told her to put it back outside near where she'd found it, keep her cat inside, and only mess with the baby again if it was in danger again. She had to bring it back in a half hour later because of an approaching storm, but she put it out again the next morning and her grandma saw the parents help the bird back to the nest.
The fact that touching wild, and stray pet, mammal babies is their certain death can not be repeated often enough.
and if wild animal is tame, it might have some VERY serious health issue, which can be dangerous to humans
There was this one post on tumblr and this guy had gone up to a deer and it's baby, and they thought it was "cute" how the mother ran at the sight of them and the baby was laid down and didn't even move when they came up and stroked it... I replied quite angrily informing them that it was obviously lying-up to avoid danger and that this is a behaviour which happens when they are too young to run away, and told them that I sincerely hope it's mum came back to it afterwards.
Some people think they can just do anything... and I mean what would a HUMAN think if some random guy came up and started stroking their baby? They would get their baby away from this random creepy guy and think he was dangerous, so why would the animals find it LESS creepy? They're terrified!
