  1. i dont really know all i have to say is i dont think its inside and its adorable ur so lucky r u gonna take care of it


  2. Im not sure what type of bird it is, but what I would recommend is for you to try and put it back either where you found it or back in its nest which is most likely nearby.  Ive found plenty of baby birds in my backyard before and the nests are always nearby, and I just put them back in it.  Make sure to wash your hands after doing so as they can have mites etc.  There have been studies that even if you have touched it the mother bird will still take it back so I wouldnt worry about that too much.

  3. That looks like a sparrow fledgling or a flycatcher.  Make sure you leave it in your yard. If you take it in it is kidnapping from the parents. See this bird is a fledgling which is a baby that has left the nest and is now learning how to fly. It will live in the grass and bushes for 3-4 days untill it can fly. It will hop, fall, flap. Mom and dad bird will come feed it no matter where it goes outside. They have lots of babies to keep track of. They will recognize its cries and it will recognize their calls. Just leave it where you find it. Even if you have touched it it will be fine birds have a bad sense of smell so the parents will still tend to it. If it is hurt then you must bring it in keep it warm handfeed it mealworms and formula and call a vet or wildlife rehabber in your area who will take for free and release when ready. It is illeagal to keep any birds without a permit or license. Good luck.  

  4. This bird is a fledgling..a baby bird that has left the nest on it's own and the parents are caring for it.  You need to replace it where you found it, preferably in a tree or scrub where it will be relatively safe from predators.  You can watch from afar (if too close the parents will not come) to see if the parents are feeding..but you must watch continually as visits can be quick and secretive.  Do not worry about your scent being on the chick, birds have a poorly developed sense of smell and will not abandon a chick that has been touched by a human. If for some reason, the parents are not around and more than a couple hours pass without any sign of the parents..get it to a local wildlife rehab:

  5. hey, more than likelly the bird has a chance if you brought inside, esecially if you have cats around. that bird looks like a house wren(bird lover/expert here) look around in the trees or in nearby nestboxs for the nest. if you found the bird on the ground the nest might be a nearby tree. although the birdlooks old enough to be left on it's own. odds are that the parents were nearby. if the baby was injured then yeah he has less chance outside than in. replace the bird outside in a tree. and watch, if the parents don't return then the baby was probably abandoned. all you can do now is let nature take it's course. i had a house sparrow in my yard the other day, she was really sluggish and looked hurt. we wanted to help her but it's best we let her adapt to her ijuries. we guessed that she had been attacked by a hawk but got away, cause a hawk came soaring out over our houses. she was feeding and then flew away. so just put him/her back outside where you found it and hope the parents come back to feed it

  6. i think its a blackbird

  7. ur baby bird id efinatly a black bird

    if u touched it directly

    the mother wont take it back so u should  either raise it and teach it how to fly then let it go or take it to that vet

    hope it works out
