    i tried but the possible nest is in the roofing of one house which is pretty inaccesible..........and if i leave him outside............i´m not at home as much as i want to keep an eye for the cats, i wish i could leave him but hes much more in a risk that way he´ll be on his own pretty much all day, and besides i have him in a spot where he can see/smell/feel the outside so he doesnt forgets also i just plan to have him secure until he flies well which wont take more than a couple of days, my guess............

    The problem is you're taking him away from his parents who need to feed him and teach him things, the parents stay with their babies for a little while after they fly. Even after they are flying the parents are still feeding the baby. The best thing you could do for him is not interfere and let nature take its course. If he's not hurt then he needs to back where he was, its his best chance. If he is hurt then he needs to go to a vet or rescue center where he can receive proper care. A cage can actually do much more harm than good. Keeping him for a day or two will only weaken him, you're doing him no good. It would be very sad if a cat got him, but being returned is still his best chance of survival, he needs his parents.

    If you don't feel safe putting him back outside, then I highly suggest contacting a conservation organization or wildlife organization in your area to see if they can't take him in for you. I'm kind of in the same boat now, I have a Sora here with me now, but I don't think it can fly at all. I will be dropping it off tomorrow at a wildlife sanctuary so they can care for it properly and allow it to heal!

    i really dont feel comfortable leaving him on his own outside, as said his parents may still be there and take care for him as naturaly would occur, i really couldnt live knowing i left him helpless, and since we dont have those kind of organizations..........

    i will leave him for his parents to find him as been suggested, but my heart will be worried for his sake, please pray no cat finds him until he can fly and get out of their reach, i really hope i could´ve helped te little guy

    You shound like a very good owner for him. If you are willing to go out digging for worms and teaching him to fly and stay away from predators, well, I guess you can try. For more information I would suggest going to http://www.google.com and typing in care for wild birds. Best luck to you!
