What do I do with this baby Sparrow who’s top beak is completely broken off??

I have a baby Sparrow who tried to fly the nest and flew right into a window and broke its top beak completely off. The nest was way too high up so I couldn’t put it back. At first it went into shock and a couple hours later after the blood cleared it was doing fine. It can breathe fine out of its nostrils and it will not stop chirping (I think because it is hungry?) but I really cannot feed it anything since it has no top beak. What should I do? I called the vet and they said they could put it to sleep humanely but is there any way an animal rescue can help this bird survive?

Update: Thank you everyone for your answers and insight. Unfortunately, it passed away earlier today.

Squirrel Zapper

Did you know that one squirrel can eat the equivelant of what up to 100 birds can eat? This device that I rigged up is very low voltage, low amperage and can be triggered remotely when a squirrel is seen on the bird feeder. I can hold the two electrical contacts and only receive a mild tingle. So, please don’t think that I’m hurting the squrrels for my pleasure. They are not harmed in any way. And, it worked very well in “training” the squirrels to stay off the feeder. Some would return right away and try it again but, eventually they stopped eating at the feeder and happily consumed what the birds spill on the ground (which is exactly the outcome that I was aiming for).

Electrified squirrel proof bird feeder hanger

Tired of squirrels having their way with your bird feeders? Rig up one of these babies! Natural looking wood bird feed hanger with an electric surprise. Watch the video “Squirrel zapped by 7000 volts” to see this baby in action! BTW, in the video I say 2 kilo joules and three kilo joules – I meant to say two and three joules, respectfully.

Anti-Squirrel Bird Feeder

A solar powered device gives a harmless shock to a squirrel trying to climb my bird feeder. (They quickly learn to stick to the squirrel feeder and avoid the bird seed.)
