First try to put the baby wild bird back into the nest or near the nest so the parents can raise it. Many of the baby birds found, if they are fully feathered, are fledglings on their first flight. They just need to be picked up off the ground and put in a bush or on a tree branch. Do not worry about the "scent of man" on the baby - it is an old wives tale. The parents will not reject the baby from a human handling the bird. Be sure to leave the area and don't look out a window to watch - the parents will see you and will be afraid, causing them to stay away from the baby. Also, the parents will hear its baby from a block or two away from where you first found it.
