There was a little bird in front of our door, which didn't flew away as I approached. I don't know whether it's inability to fly is due to exhaustion or if it's hurt.
I put it in the shower with sunflower seeds and water, but I guess that's normally not on their menu.
What do? Everything is closed because it's a national holiday and I don't even know if I could afford a treatment.
Is it the bird flue? I hope not he already hopped onto my shoulder and shat all over the place.
It might be a fledgling. If it isn't injured, leave it alone and put it back where you found it. They are supposed to be out of the nest and wandering around with the parents coming back to feed it from time to time.

Should I put him back? My neighbor has cats..
That's him, sorry for the late pic, changed ROM and had to wait

It's definitely a fledgling bird. If you can, place him somewhere where the cats cannot get it or tell your neighbor to keep their cats indoors. If it is in real danger with no chance of surviving the cats though, it is best to send it to a wildlife rehab if they're available in the area. The fledgling unfortunately has a low chance of surviving if without its parents unless someone with rehab experience is involved.

>where the cats cannot get it
that's pretty tough, I looked at the nearby trees but there were no nests
should I put him on our window ledge of the first floor? I'm afraid he'll jump down and commit sodoku...
I'd prefer your second option and give him to a caretaker but it's not possible today. Will he make the night?

Can anyone ID that birdo? Kinda looks like a swallow fledgling but not sure.

I don't know what kind of birb it is, additionally I made him some hard boiled eggs and smashed them
but he spits everything out what I put him in the peak...

I hope you're wrong. "Swallow nestlings that fledge prematurely can't fly well and may become grounded. If this happens they are usually abandoned by their parents and die."
