Answer #1

don’t panick !!! keep it warm.. mush up the worms in to little bits. give it some water too. put it in a box or if you plan on keeping it put it in a cage. and wear gloves before touching it again. you never know it could have rabies. Go to the docter ASAP!!!

Answer #2

Don’t re-release it at all, you have alredy touched it, it will not survive now in the wild. Get an box type thing and a heat lamp and keep it warm all night and then call your animal shelter/vet tomorrow and they will probably take her/him in and take care of them…

Answer #3

It happend to me once, my dad forgot to close the A.C so it froze to death, dont want the same thing to happen to you. Keep it worm!!!

Answer #4

If you plan on re-leasing it back into the wild don’t touch it a lot. The smell of you will offend the other birds and they will kill it. Keep it warm, and if it is a real small baby bird you should mush up the worms for it a little bit. You could also take it to a vet and they can give to some place that can help it live and sned it back out into the wild.

Answer #5

Birds eat regurgitated food… it’s not going to eat whole worms… or partial worms…

Try this site, and if possible, try to put it back in its nest
