Yes, accidents happen.
And Yes, there is a first time for everything. But how would you all feel if this baby bird died under your care when, if you had taken it to wildlife rescue, it could have very well survivied?
Just my thoughts. =]
but you gotta think theyre is more a chance the baby will die if the momma is sick so i actually thik maybe the best thing to do is call up a wildlife reserve and see what they say about it after they would probably know what is best for the baby just my thoughts
