Call a vet in the area and ask advice. The vet will also be able to tell you if there is a “Bird lover” in the area who might take it and save it’s life. Wild birds are very hard to save.

Contact your local humane society or animal control office. If they can’t help they will probably know someone who can

I would get some worms – Yes – I no – Yuck!! To feed it
If you have a pet carrier or medium sized Cardboard box then get some newspaper (ripped up) or an old towel For its Bed
If he starts squawking then feed it some worms.- if u have tweasers then use them.
When it gets stronger , put it on a shed roof or wall and it will fly off.

We found baby birds in our fireplace twice, and we brought them to a wildlife rescue. Look on the internet or phone book to find a local one or call a vet to see if they know of any.

If you live in the US, you need to contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitator, because it is illegal for anyone to have a crow without the proper permits. You should be able to find one here: http://www.tc.umn.edu/~devo0028/contact.htm
Please contact one asap, as crows in captivity bond quickly to their handler, and it could become impossible to release it.
When I was a volunteer with the Avian Rehabilitation Center, the authorities brought us several crows that had been confiscated from people who had been keeping them after rescuing them. The people who had been keeping the birds were fined, along with having the birds taken away. Then we had the job of trying to rehabilitate the birds to be released. One never could be released, he had become too tame.
Please read what this site says about people trying to rescue and raise wild birds on their own: “First of all, there are federal and state laws that prohibit keeping wild birds. And there are so many important but subtle elements to raising a wild bird that the job is only legally entrusted to licensed rehabilitators. Many well-meaning people raise baby birds or rescue birds from cats or after accidents, and sometimes they don’t realize that the bird in their care is suffering from a serious dietary deficiency. Some of the problems aren’t apparent to untrained people, but can cause death, or make the bird less likely to evade predators or to survive harsh natural weather conditions.”

Take it to the vet and give it a check up. Sometimes vets do check ups for free when it is a rescued animal. After everything is well with it keep it as a pet or give it away for someone to take care of it. DON’T RELEASE IT BACK TO THE WILD IT WON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO BECAUSE IT IS TOO YOUNG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Feed it smashed up worms and make sure that he isn’t sick. When it get’s better teach it how to fly, by throwing up in the air, but if it goes downs catch it. Do that three times a day till he can fly. When it can fly still feed it and one day it will fly away, but it might come back. If it does give it food.
Crows!
