i found a bird in the middle of the street today, and it cant fly and moves very little. It doesn’t look like it could’ve fallen from a nest because there were no trees from which it could’ve fallen from in the area. i have no idea what kind of bird it is, or how to help he/she. So far ive put it in a box with a towell and some birdseed, but i am at a loss as to how im supposed to give it water. any advice on what i should do?
Abandoned Fledglings
The procedure differs slightly for a fledgling bird. Fledglings are often mistaken for birds that are injured or unable to fly when, on the contrary, they’re actually learning how to fly. A fledgling will hop out of the nest to perch on surrounding branches, or flutter to the ground, where it will spend several days to several weeks being taught by the parents how to pick up seeds or catch insects. A parent bird will actually guide the fledgling into bushes during the night to hide it from predators. If you find a fledgling in a high-traffic area such as a sidewalk or a street, move it into the cover of some nearby bushes. Otherwise, leave the bird where you found it.
i think this is what im going to do with it, sometime in the morning, becuase it to dark to do it right now
