I just caught a bird and he could jump and fly bout 1 foot and then crashes?

Question

tell me wat they eat and if i need 2 let it go i dont think i should cause the cats will gett em he is blue gray and white

Answer 1

If you can have the owners of the cats keep them in for a few more days, this fledgling will be able to fly.  It's parents are still feeding it and will even after it is flying.

The bird must be protected from the predators.  It should be put back where it was so the parents can find it.

Thanks for caring.

Answer 2

A baby bird like what you caught is called the fledgling stage. It sounds like a blue Jay. The best thing to do is put him in a tall bush or shrub where the parents will be able to hear him begging.

Answer 3

If he has feathers and is out of the nest just let it be....the parents will be back....if it is an injured. adult...not much you can do....unless you have a local bird sanctuary to take it to
