My cat caught a baby bird Help!

Pics
I was walking outside looking for some medicine when I noticed 1 of my cats was staring at something on the ground I walked over and thought it was a mouse. I moved my cat( her name is mouse) and saw that it was actually a baby bird. I picked it up and it kicked it's legs. The only blood visible is on both wings. It's still breathing and I have it under a heat lamp. Can I give it anything? Sugar water?
Edit: I just found a hole on its back. Must be a puncture wound From mouse carrying it
I know this is an old thread, but in this situation I would firstly assess the bird for injuries, it will need urgent vet care if it has been in the cats mouth. If it hasnt been messed with too much, you might be able to guess the breed, locate the nest and see others a similar age, and pop it back in. But the chances of finding the nest, and the baby being in good enough condition to put back, is very unlikely. So best bet is to take to a vet or a wildlife rehab urgently.
If there is no one to take it, and the species is legal to have in possession, you could try to help, but I wouldn't hold too much hope.

I skimmed through the thread, and Im really sorry some people were so harsh/negative, Im also sorry the little one didnt make it. :hugs
