What to do with a wild baby bird?

A few hours ago, I heard birds chirping really loud, i went outside to see what was up and saw 2 birds looking directly at a bush, i looked at the bush and was suprised to a baby bird, based on what I saw I assumed the bird fell out of its nest ( the nest was on the roof of my house, i know because ocasionally i’d see those 2 birds fly up there ) and the 2 birds are trying to figure how to get the baby back up there, i felt real bad for the bird but went back inside, about 2 hours later i noticed there wasnt any more chirping outside, so i went outside and couldn’t find those 2 birds anywhere but I did find the baby bird still in the bush, i didnt know wat to do, if i left it inside the bush it was likely to be cat food. I thought for a while about what to do… I got a shoe box with 2 holes in it, some hamster bedding, and then put the hamster bedding inside the box, i then went to the sink got a really really small glass bowl ( small enough so the bird could drink out of it ) and filled it with water, I picked up the bird and put it in the shoe box, brought the box inside my house and now here i am, I tryd to spoon feed it water ( well i guess i mean spoon drink it ) but it wouldn’t take it, it just sits there all scared and shakey, if i put my hand over the box it’ll pull its head back into its body and its wings will come towards my hand just a little bit. I have no clue what to do, I’m probably gonna take it to an animal shelter. What to do??
I just read recently on a website that a baby bird outside of its nest is considered a fledgling, falling out of its nest on purpose to keep away from predators like hawks or climbing cats and being fed by their parents who will soon come back and keep feeding it for a few weeks until it is able to hunt for food its self and be on its own… i feel ive done the wrong thing. I also read that once human hands have touched it, the parents will never accept it again. Is any of this misleading information? Should I tomorrow take it to a shelter, or bring it back to the bush where it could still be cat food?
to first poster: I can’t put it back in its nest, its to far up on my house and I can’t get a ladder to climb.

PLEASE HELP my BIRD IS NOT FELLING GOOD I THINK THERE IS SOMTHING WRONG WITH HER?

my yellow baby parakeet is not feeling good i think she is pragnate cause we have 2 birds but i dont know if they are both the same gender, my mom said when i was sleeping she herd them fighting and hitting the side of the cages and bitting eachother, these are the sytoms :

tired eye’s, dizzyness, crumbled up feet, not eating, fighting, not flying, VERY FAST HEART BEAT, laying on the floor, and no activity. i havent had the time to feed them for a couple of days so probably thats why but i got food today and she is still not eating but the other one is the oppisite of all of the symtoms, maybe where they fought or from not eating or she is ill but just please help me.

thank you and god bless

How can I get my family to be more responsible? Examples listed below.?

I am running myself ragged here. My husband wants all these animals…ie: 2 dogs, 2 birds, a rabbbit and a horse. Although he takes care of the horse I am left with feeding, watering, cleaning up after all the other animals. I didn’t want pets to begin with…to me it’s an extra responsibilty I did not want to havre to take on. Another example my daughter wants a rabbit so after telling her she would have to water, feed and clean it’s cage….it always ends up me doing. She is only 5 so I understand if she forgets without being reminded but I end up doing it all. Im tired of it all and ready for some kind of change or I think the animals need to go. Another example I can tell him to clean up the dog mess and he says ok I will tomorrow or this afternoon and doesn’t do it, in the meantime if my 80+ yr. old neighbor says something to me and I mention it to my husband he usually gets it all cleaned up within a few hrs. or the next day. What gives?!?!?!?
I agree no 5 y/o is responsible enough to handle animal care of their own…I told my husband this….No-one listens…they live in the moment…not that these animals will be around for the next 15-20 yrs…I even went as far to telling my husband I spoke with a lady who raises bunnies and she told me the same thing, we should wait.

House-sitting guest …?

What is the general rule of etiquette in regards to a friend or family member you want to have house sit for you (1month). Do you reward them monetarily? If so, what is an adequate amount? They would be staying the house full-time and feeding a dog and 2 birds.
