HELP ME!!! abandoned youngster

[iThOuGhTfLuFfYwAsAgIrL!]

I'm not sure the age...or if it still feeds from it mother (?)

Is there anything I need to do? (It's nighttime here so if there's nothign urgent it can wait til morning?)

Right now he/she is in the garage with water and some food...and there is a perch. He/she makes little peeping noises so i am very worried...measures approx. 20cm long and 7cm wide at crop.

Thankyou

He has left the nest & the parents will continue to feed him for a little while as he learns to fly properly & eat by himself. Put him back where you found him early in the morning if not tonight so that the parents will come back for him later. Put some seeds & water next to him outside if you feel bad for him.

looks like a fully weaned fledgling.... leave some small seed in there it'll learn to peck at it... if he doesn't know where the water is, dip his beak in it.

He knows how to eat seed, but there's also this fishy smell... is that normal?

The fishy smell isn't normal and may indicate a problem like canker or sour crop. Gently open the beak and have a look.
If you see any growths that look sort of like cottage cheese, it's canker and needs to be treated. The meds are pretty
easy to obtain and not too expensive.
