How to care for an injured bird?

[Catanonia]

It sounds like a recently fledged Blackbird which would look like a lot the female (brown and mottled rather than black), but without the tail feathers, see:

In which case what you are seeing is a perfectly normal stage for a young bird, once they have matured to a certain level they will leave the nest, whilst still being cared for by the adult (what you are seeing with the Male bird continuing to feed it), as they learn to feed and fly on their own.

Thanks for all your.......help?

It would seem that the bird made an escape during the night and maybe in a neighbours garden.

what part of "leave nature alone" is difficult ?

Anyway, we know the OP dropped a brick on it and microwaved it

if you collapse in the street one could argue it's just nature thinning the heard and carry on

As long as they don't drop a brick on me, then that is the way of the world

Too... Many... Jokes...

Lmao.. I was writing seriously so didn't even notice

If it is a fledgling absolutely leave it alone. Once you can see a female adultand ffledgling side by side it will be obviouswhich was which

II've cared for enough birds in my time
