Someone said they think it's a quail... Can anyone tell me anything about this guy? Is he a juvenile? Is that bald spot concerning? He's eating (ground up cat food) and drinking plenty and walking around fine.

We thought it was a baby chicken which is very strange in our neighborhood. Should we let him go?

My poor eyes cant tell from this tiny phone but that looks like an A&M Coturnix. If so that is a lost or ditched pet. They don't breed in the wild. Someone verify?

we are taking her to a local vet that works with birds. they're going to have a look at her and then try to connect us with some bird people to see if we can find her a good home. thanks for all of the advice!
 
Pictures aren't working for me right now but by the sounds of it it is a quail. He won't last long on his own in the wild so it's up to you whether you're prepared to look after him or not. I can't imagine a single quail is much work.
 
We took him to a local vet that services birds and two of the techs actually raise quails and will be fighting over who gets to keep him :)
