Search for a wildlife rehabilitator in your area, and call them. If that fails, call your local veterinarian or humane society. They should know somebody who takes care of wild birds. When you find somebody to take it, take it to their place. You shouldn't feed it unless you are absolutely sure what it eats. DO NOT under ANY circumstances give it water/put it near water. It can drown. You should know that IT IS ILLEGAL TO KEEP A WILD BIRD UNLESS YOU ARE CERTIFIED

Do not touch it. If the mother comes back from hunting for worms or something, she'll smell the human hand on her child, and abandon it at once. It is better to leave the bird, the mother will help it herself.

Birds to do not have a sense of smell, so touching it would not make any difference, if you need to return a chick back to the nest away from danger this is okay. The mother will not abandon the chick.

The best thing to do is to bring the bird to a Veterinarian (Vet). The Vet will know what to do. If not, try bringing the bird to a pet store.
