Question

Answer 1

you need to take it to a wild life rehabilitater. it's hard to care for one and if your mom got it far away from where you live the parents will not be able to hear it. if you can't find a wild life rehailitater then go to a vets office. in some states it is illegal to take care of wild life without a permit!

If you have to take care of it then they eat bugs, smashed up bugs (meal worms, etc.)

Answer 2

You are not alowed to keep those as pets!!! The poor birdy is crying for its mom. Please put it outside in your backyard atleast. And let it be!! Yu can place a little bowl of water by it to drink but please dont keep it inside in a cage!!

Answer 4

If the bird is fully feathered, it is most likely a fledgling and has left the nest on it's own and it's parents are caring for it. It is normal for birds to leave the nest before they can fly. You need to replace it where you found it..preferably in a scrub or tree so it is relatively safe from predators, and the parents should come back to feed it. If it is unfeathered...then look for a nest and if you can find it...replace it into the nest. Do not worry about your scent being on the chick..birds have a very poorly developed sense of smell and will NOT reject a baby that has been touched. If you cannot find a nest, get the bird to a local wildlife rehab for it's best chance of survival. Also, keep in mind, it is illegal for you to try and raise this bird on your own. Look for a rehab here:
