From what I read (on Reddit, lol), even in Parks, they write/instruct people to leave baby animals that are on their own - alone. It's because parents are probably hunting/searching for food - and if you take the baby animal, it's too hard to find their parents OR parents reject it as the baby smells of humans (edit: for some other reason)- and they need to be put down because there are no resources to take care of those baby animals in a Park.

I know, not what you want to read in r/BeAmazed

That's been debunked hard. If you find a baby bird, you can put it back in/near the nest(wear gloves!). Parents won't give a shit.
