i wouldn't if i were you, but as far as i know if the bird is caused no unnesacery pain then its ok. but i'd look into it a bit more. =]
don't do it man!
Not knowing the size of the bird or the location it was found in (habitat and geographic) makes it a little bit harder to identify, but it is possible this could be a great kiskadee, one of the kingbirds, one of the vireos, a meadowlark, or a goldfinch. I really do not have enough info to answer your question. Was it a songbird or a waterbird? Did you see it in the forest or in the meadow? Do you live in D.C. or in Texas? I need to know a lot of stuff to be able to positively identify the bird. However, I can direct you to a good site for bird ID (See the related links).
How many times a minute does a humming bird flap its wings?

What kind of bird has a red y shape on back of head and a black triangle on chest?
Your description is unfortunately fairly vague - it would help if you could give the approximate size of the bird, whereabouts you saw it (habitat, region of the US/world), what it was doing, etc.
However, based on your description, I would assume it is a Northern Flicker. If you look for it in a field guide, it is with the woodpeckers.

Yes they will because the scent that humans give off is the total opposite of the scent that the baby birds normally have. The mother will not feed her babies if they have human scent and the babies will die.
