Answer 1

If you are in the US or Canada it is illegal - unless you are a licensed (and trained) falconer, with a current permit .

If you can't figure out how to feed the bird, you aren't qualified to be a falconer.

The bird is a fledgling.  You should have left it alone.  It belongs in the wild.

Let the bird go - it doesn't need your help.

Answer 2

If you live ANYWHERE in the United States..it IS illegal.  Even if not illegal if you live in another country...it is cruel to keep a wild bird as a pet..and it will most likely die in your care if you are not experienced caring for birds of prey.  Just because YOU like it...is a very selfish reason to keep it.  LET IT GO!

See this site for the North American Falconers Association; it will give you a realistic look at what you can expect, and sources for further reading and contacts.  http://www.n-a-f-a.org/default.htm
