OK guys I got a final update for you! I took the bird out to where I found him in a cardboard box nest I had rigged up yesterday. When I brought him out I fed him some blueberries and strawberries, which he eagerly devoured. Then I moved the box next to a tree. He started chirping away. A few minutes later I heard two other birds calling to him. Then isaw his parents flying around near him. They perched on a branch above him.

He was trying so hard to get out of the box and I finally stepped in and scooped him up and set him on the ground next to the box. He immediately hopped over to some bushes and his parents flew over to him and started feeding him.

Once I saw that he was happily reunited with his family, I left.

I am so happy that I was able to help him and reunite him with his family. This has truely been a wonderful learning experien and I'm very greatful this little bird came into my life, even if it was only temporary.

Thank you everyone who came to this thread! Thank you for your advice and kind words! I couldn't have wished for a better outcome!

If Nature is God, even if you believe God created Nature - Then understanding nature is to understand God - You are a Saint.

What is a miracle?
It's when a mysterious, unexplained force lends you a life saving, helping hand.
They say they are performed by Saints. To that bird, you are an unexplainable mysterious life saving, helping hand - your a saint helping the creatures cause.

No,you did the right thing.I read a new story about a man when he see's a dead animal on the road he put them of the road.one day there was a cat in the road that was ran over he was running late for work and passed but all the sudden he went back and the cat keep on getting ran over he went to put on the side of the road and the cat meowed so he went to the pet ER and It had a list of things wrong with him but the cat lived and the man need up taking him home.

As pathetic as this sounds...when I was video chatting with my best friend a little while ago, we were discussing Woodstock, and I ACTUALLY started crying! I already miss the little guy! I hope he is doing alright!
