what should i do i just found a baby bird behind my house ?

Answer 1

Care for it! I would! I found a bird outside once. It had a huge tumor growing out of its eye. It could still fly, but just barely, and not enough to where I couldn't catch it. An elderly lady across from my house has a bird house on top of a pole. I placed the bird inside of it, but I went back to it just a few minutes later and it had flown away. If you have the time, you could also try placing the bird in another nest you find. That may be dangerous, but I'm an animal lover and I would probably be so compelled myself.

Answer 2

What To Do With a Baby Bird
You've found a baby bird on the ground and you want to help. But did you know that most of the baby birds that are found on the ground are, by Nature's design, supposed to be there. These birds are probably fledglings that are learning how to fly. By “rescuing” them, we may be greatly reducing the birds' chances of survival.

So, how do you tell the difference between a bird who's in danger and one who's just doing what comes naturally? Actually, it's pretty easy.

Hatchlings and Nestlings
From a growth standpoint, there are three types of baby birds: hatchings, nestlings, and fledglings. Very young birds, called hatchlings, have their eyes closed and may be completely naked or have some sparse down—but no feathers. As these birds grow older they become “nestlings”. These babies have eyes that are partially open (usually in slits) and their bodies are covered with down, prickly looking “quills”, or some feathers. If you find a hatchling or nestling on the ground, it will need your help. Please put the bird in a small box lined with tissue, keep it in a warm, dark and quiet place, and call Wildlife Rescue immediately for assistance.

Fledglings
If all goes well, nestlings grow up and become fledglings, which have stumpy tails and are fully feathered but cannot yet fly. If you find a fledgling on the ground, don't pick it up. Fledglings go through a stage when they are learning to fly where they jump or fall out of the nest and live on the ground for several days. Yes, they are vulnerable to certain dangers during this time, especially those of the four-footed variety, but it's natural for fledglings to be on the ground, developing their skills. What's more, they aren't alone. Their parents are still around, feeding them, showing them where to look for food, hiding them under bushes, and fiercely protecting them if they are threatened. The best action you can take if you find a fledgling bird on the ground is to keep dogs, cats, and children away from the area for a few days. If you've already picked up the bird, put it back where you found it or under a nearby bush. And don't worry that the mother will reject it because it smells like a human. That's an old wive's tale. Remember, though: “Over-rescuing” a fledgling turns it into an orphan!
