Hey guys, I was out walking and saw a little baby bird sitting

>>2381099
is there a nest above or nearby?

Not that I can see, at least not on the tree he's next to. There's another tree on the other side of the street that seems to have at least 3 bird couples, but I don't think he could've fallen from there and ended up where he is now.

Sun is almost down, pretty sure cats are already on the prowl. Should I just put him on the tree he's close to and hope the cats don't get him?

Yes i'd move him to a safe location, like the tree with birds you were mentioning. You can put him in a basket or similar container and hang it up/wire it on the tree.

When you pick him up, if he seems sick or injured, it might be best to try to take him to a wildlife rehab.

Hi anon. That's a hatchling (which should still be nestbound), not a fledgling (which are the kinds you're supposed to leave alone). Looks like a dove or pigeon of some kind.

If you can't find the specific nest, shred up some paper, tissue, grass, etc. and put it in a shoebox or small basket. Place the bird in open box and put it up high, like in a tree or top of a shrub or something. It's ok to touch the bird - the "parents will abandon young because they smell like humans" thing is a myth - but clear out quickly and don't linger near the nest.

Alright I put him in a small box and put him in a tree. Wasn't quick at all though because reaching the fork in the tree was harder than I thought. Hopefully he'll be sage now. Thanks anons.

Maybe you can check on him in the morning to see if his parents came back and if he's alright

Yeah, I figured I'd do that on my way to Church tomorrow
