It really doesn't hurt to take a small peak really, but touching them is the real matter, I remember a cat of mine capturing a bird then placing it into his dish, to save it for later, but never heard of a cat taking a baby bird back to it's nest, is your cat female. So it could be a good sign that your cat is afraid to go outside, both of mine are frightened. It will probably go on for about a few month depending on when their migration will take place. Baby birds don't take long to develope their feathers. When I was younger I lived at my grandmothers, there was a tree outside her home with a hole in it. My bigger cousin lifted me up to let me see inside and asked me what I could see. I told him that I seen many baby birds in it. The parents were alright for me taking a peak as long as there is no touching involved that is what I was told by my grandmother and my mother.
