Urgent! Any suggestions as to what my baby bird is?

It has down and almost completely covered by feathers. It is brown, like the color of cardboard boxes, with small black dots over it. Its beak is small and is not curved at the end, rather straight, but not like those little birds. Plus, when it walks it raises its legs. It seems to have the potential to grow into one of those big birds, like an owl.

By the way, I live in south TX, down by the Rio Grande Valley, which is right on the border of the US and Mexico. I hope this info helps. I’d really appreciate it, specially if you have any idea as to what I can feed it.

Baby Bird?

My sister found a baby bird outside. It’s almost grown, but it needs a few more weeks and we can’t find it’s nest. We decided to take care of it until it grows up, but what do we need to do for it to keep it comfortable, how do we feed it, and what do we feed it?

How can i release a baby bird safetly?

I have a baby bird that has most of his feathers and is trying very hard to fly. I found him just yesterday at a park on the floor so i took him in. He cannot fly or perch. He crawls a lot and flaps his wings untill hes out of breath.
Should i return him where i found him or keep him in my care until he learns to fly?
Right now hes eating moist cat food and is in a soft box.
I feed him every hour.

My baby bird that i found is having troubles breathing?

He has most of his feathers but cannot perch or fly yet. He flaps his wings a whole lot and tries to crawl. He eats well, i feed him moist cat food.
What other foods are better?
Is his breathing normal? If not, what do i do?
Is the flapping of wings normal?

Hand feeding baby Cockatiel or parents feeding?

I had purchased a breeding pair of tiels from someone recently. Apparently they gave them a few chicks and are very good parents when it comes raising the babies. I have put them in a separate room with little traffic and noise and plenty of sunshine etc.. I put in a nesting box and yesterday I saw them mating.
I was wondering when the eggs are hatched, do I have to hand feed the babies for them to be tame or could I let them take care of the babies and they end up just as tame as long as I keep interacting with them daily. The birds are friendly, but not as friendly as I would like….I understand they are still getting use to me and I am offering millet spray as a peace offering to them daily in hopes they get use to my hand. I had read somewhere though that its rare to have a friendly ‘pet’ bird and a breeding bird. It’s either one or the other. If I could have tame babies without hand feeding that would be great. (if its possible)
Thanks :)
Good suggestions guys. I will let the parents take care of the babies and just keep interacting with them daily. The babies health is most important as well as the parents! Hand tame or not, they are still lovely to watch and my boy even whistles pretty boy :)
