Hello! Just thought I would add something that I found on this website... (

"If You Find a Juvenile Bird:
Compassionate birders may want to assist young birds, particularly if the bird seems unable to fly or acts in distress. If you find a juvenile bird
* Leave it alone. Young birds often leave the nest a few days before they can successfully fly, but the parent birds are usually nearby and watchful, even if you cant spot them. Watch the bird for several hours to see if the parents tend to it or if it is able to care for itself.
* Keep children and pets away from the young bird. Too much nearby activity or unfamiliar visitors can cause juvenile birds considerable distress, elevating their heart rate and creating disorientation. Too many observers may also distress the parent birds, preventing them from checking up on their offspring.
* If the bird is obviously too young to have left the nest it has no flight feathers or is unable to move replace it in the nest carefully, if possible. Birds will not abandon a baby that has been handled by humans (most birds have a very poor sense of smell), and returning it to the nest will ensure the parents know where it is. If you are unable to return it to the nest, place it in a nearby sheltered, safe area.
* If the bird is injured or if parents do not return to tend to it, contact a local certified wildlife rehabilitator, Audubon chapter or other wildlife or birding group. State and federal laws prohibit unlicensed individuals from keeping or caring for wild birds, even if they intend to release them into the wild."
As for the breed of the baby bird, I'm not sure. Good luck though!
