We took a wild bird in.?

Question

We came home and this little bird was standing right in front of our door. My 6 year old approached it. I had not seen it yet when my daughter was huddling over to protect it. Without much fight my husband cradled it. We did not have a bird cage nor know why it was not flying away. It did hid for a few hours then found it literally right under our toes. Well actually my husbands feet while I was at work. We kept it for the next few days. We put the bird in our old hamster’s cage. We gave it water and seeds. The bird would chirp ever so sweetly. So calming that is did not interrupt anyone’s sleep. Last night I started covering the cage with a light towel so that it is not disturbed.

About an hour ago my husband renewed the water as I looked online for other sources of food for wild birds.

The bird seemed to like the change and was perched on the edged of the water.

The girls ask why is our bird sleeping on it's side.

I ask how can this inoccent living being be gone?
