OMG! I'm a bird napper! :O TY so much for this information about the "fledgling" baby or juvenile bird(s)! It was very helpful! Now I know what to do, with this lil fella I found just about a couple of hours ago! I must return him/her to the area and hopefully, that the mama and or the papa bird will find it and help their baby to do what it does best! To live and fly free! TY again! :/ *waves*

My cat was let out since she wanted to go out, I didn't let her out, my father ended up finding the baby bird, which my cat hunted and was playing with, it was still alive and in my room, I feed it oats and give it water in the morning, afternoon, and night 5 times each every 30 or 15 minutes (total number of feeding through time), it has an injured eye and is still a little bit blind, the left eye is starting to open and the leg is also injured, it stopped bleeding the second day.

I found a fledgling, very very small, on a little road...I didn't knew what to do so I picked it up and locked for the nest, but I didn't found it...Although I've noticed it was calling the parents, and I am sure I heard their answer. I put it back on the road in a place with a great view from above...I hope I did the right thing...:/

@PsychStudent85 I found a fledgling last month with a broken wing (bone sticking out) cuz she fell from teh nest and was attacked by iguanas,the brother bird died.She lastted 1 week and then died too.And last sunday I found a fladgeling on my neighbor's sidewalk and was almost covered in ants and didnt movo.So when mom picked him up the bird mom got crazy flyign from tree to tree.We have him in my room atm,he is friendly and follows me everywhere and at feeding time he opens the beek :)

Part 1 - Very disappointed with the advice given in this video. I found a fledgling sparrow in the window well of my basement on Thrusday night. It was chirping away so loud I heard it in my basement, I went outside and saw it couldn't get out of the well, it was only about 4" deep with rocks on the bottom. I took the advice here and left it alone and went back on Fridat afternoon, it was still there. When I went out on Saturday morning it was laying on its side near death. I picked it up

GREAT INFORMATION!

My wife found a fledgling, she put it in a small box with a wash cloth and I wrapped a wire hanger and slid the box into the loop I made and hung it on a fence and MOMMY & DADDY are taking care of it. I hung it about 2.5 ft off the ground so if it falls again it wont fall far. The wifes a Nurse and I'm in Med School so its just in our nature to nurture.

Now I'm showing the neighbors and their kids what to do in this situation thanks to this video!

LOVE YOUTUBE!

Good advice, I chased a cat away from a Blackbird fledgling yesterday. I was alerted to it by it's mother who was flying around the cat and making loud warning noises.
