That is not true. A mothers instinct is much stronger than any scent you can leave on her baby. That is one of the many many “myths“ we have been told as children. And probably for a good reason, to keep us from messing with infant wildlife. I have proven this over and over in my personal experience throughout my life, and have confirmed it through common knowledge. I actually thought about mentioning that in my video, because I knew people would think this and say something, but I thought it better to just let people believe it so that people wouldn’t “mess“ with wildlife babies. Do you see how attentive that mother was when her babies came up to me? She was not about to abandon them for any reason at all. It is a fact, that if you find a baby bird that has been pushed out of its nest, if you pick it up and return it to the nest, the mother will continue to care for it. Fact is, most birds can’t even smell. With mammals, your scent will not deter a mother from caring for its baby. Remember when we were told as children not to kill praying mantis’s because it was illegal? That’s not true either. But it is probably a good practice not to kill them anyway. (or anything for that matter) As you can see at the end of that video, the mother more than willingly excepted her babies and was grooming and licking them. If only humans were the same way. Thank you for your comment, and concern. Cheers to you!
@@maryjinkerson5246 They did get back to her mom. I see Autumn often, she’s doing quite well for an eight-year-old woman who lives by herself in the forest with no electricity.
