Sorry if you can't see him properly, he's sleeping. I need some help raising him. Do I have to feed him at night? I have school so I don't really have all the time to care for him. Also, may I know what chick he is? I believe he is some sort of Bulbul

You will need to make sure he is warm. Also if you want identification you will need to post a clearer pic of him. Where did you get him? How long are you planning on keeping him?

I tucked him underneath a cloth, he seems to snuggle up to it so I think he's doing fine, he also isn't shaking or shivering at all. I found him under a tree at my condo playground and I plan to keep him as my pet. I own 2 parakeets, I figured perhaps he can mingle with them once he's older?
 
You need to get him a heat lamp or he will die of the cold but you can't keep it too close to him ( he may not seem like he is cold but young birds always need warmth)
also you can buy wet cat food and feed it to him but I would identify what type of bird he is and cloth isn't enough to keep him warm can you send a better picture of him

To get heat lamp must convince parents first haha. I feed him eggs and mashed bananas from a syringe. That good enough? Also he's sleeping now can't disturb him.

That's not how baby chicks work, they need to be surrounded by heat, get a heat lamp by tonight if you want to insure his safety.

He needs chick crumbles, you'll have to go to your local feed store. You can get a heat lamp there too.
