That's how the little terror figured out how to get up on the drain cover too !!

Not a silly question at all -the answer is yes technically but it would be like staying on chicks in the rain -parent would stay only so long as their life isn't at risk - hard-wiring for self-preservation should kick in before they are at real risk.
