I found a infant bird on my porch this morning which apparently fell from a nest. It was either paralyzed or too weak to move, but was breathing. Today is supposed to be very hot, and I fear that it will suffer or burn on the sidewalk.
I told a co-worker I would have shot it if I had lived in rural area. He called it wrong since it would be like playing God, and said he would put it in a shoe box and place the boxed bird in a bush which I thought was wrong since it would ensure a more slow death.
Neither of us wanted to touch the bird since we don’t know if it was ill or not.
Anyway, I’m just curious as to how other people would react to this situation.
EDIT: I don’t know why the question posted twice, but thanks for answering twice 
I ended up not doing anything because I was late for work and didn’t even realize it was breathing until I was out the door. I’m hoping that other neighbors may have seen it.
