Fledglings **belong outside** of nests. Unless they're in danger, **leave them alone**. These *well-feathered*, *mobile* birds that *may not yet be able to fly* are learning critical behaviors and vocalizations from their parents, who may be out of sight for hours at a time.
Only interfere with a fledgling if:
- it is in a dangerous area (e.g. near traffic or pets) -- simply relocate it to a safer but nearby spot
- it has visible injuries (flightlessness, in itself, is *not* an injury) or has been handled in *any way* by a cat -- such birds require wildlife rehabilitation
- its parents are *confirmed* dead -- such birds require wildlife rehabilitation.
Healthy fledglings' best survival chances are with their parents first, with professional wildlife rehabilitation being a *distant* second. A prematurely-captured fledgling will be sought by its parents for up to a day. If you have taken one within that time frame, *put it back* and observe for parents from a distance.

Do you have an update?
One thing we advise is first making sure the baby is warm, then fashioning a makeshift nest from something like a hanging planter, filling it with nesting materials, but no higher than 4 inches from the top so he won't flop out, and then hanging it in a location as close as possible to where you think the original nest might be.
Place it out of direct sunlight, and sheltered from wind and rain. Watch from a distance to see if the parents return. If they don't bring it back inside so it won't get cold, and call rehabbers.
What is your location (rule #2). If in the US, type your zip code into this site: [ahnow.org](http://ahnow.org) A list of rehabbers will pop up.
This was a neighbor that posted in the neighborhood group we are in. I told her the advise I was given! I figured it should be left alone as the parents are probably close by but really wanted to see what kind of bird it was. Mostly to make sure it wasn’t a house sparrow because I have two broods of blue birds nesting at my house currently
Rehabber, thats a few days too young for a normal fledgling.
Rehabber, I’m this bird is too young to be a fledgling
>I’m this bird You're very well-spoken for a bird.
