What to do with a bird that fell out the nest?

It’s either a mockingbird or blue Jay. It’s not super young. It looks like it’s maybe a week or so away from flying. Poor thing is just sitting on a branch that fell. I think the weather may have knocked it out of the nest.

Good question. Looking forward to the answers. Could google it but frick that.

Boiled egg. Crumble up and let it eat. No water needed. It’ll fly away when ready.
Or you could chop its head off so a cat doesnt play with it until death

I use to have doves make nests atop the wide wooden platforms at the top of the posts holding up my roof over my porches.
I'd sometimes find them on my porch and would just get my ladder and put them back in the nests. Once they started flying, I'd just leave them alone. They couldn't fly far and would often land on the driveway but managed to survive as far as I know.

Put it back in the nest or leave it alone. If the parents know where it is they will take care of it as long as it doesn’t get eaten.

Put it in the nest if you can. If you can't, put it in a shady area nearby maybe a little off the ground

Yep. The stuff people have been told about not touching the bird because their parent would abandon it is BS. Just put it back in the nest or somewhere safer so that cats/other animals don’t get it.

Well fellas I think something got it. I left and when I came back it was gone. There was a hawk circling but the parents kept running it off.

Mockingbirds fledge before fully being able to fly. It's just the normal process. The parents will stay close and protect it until it can fly. That's probably what you found. Just leave it alone

Why do folks always worry about interfering with nature? Did you knock it out of the nest? Nature is scary but birds have existed for longer than we as a species have. Leave it alone, maybe it gets eaten maybe it survives its like nature man.
