What to do for a baby bird fallen out of nest?

It depends on the age of the bird. If you know for sure its a baby bird, if possible, wait until you see the mother bird. Often if will carry it to a safer place and bring it food until it learns to fly. If it is injured or the mother bird abandons it, call a local bird sanctuary or take the bird there. But be carefull not to stress the baby bird out too much or it will die. What ever you do, do not put the bird back in its nest or touch it. Usually, if not all the time, the mother bird will reject the baby and let it die. Its better not to take the chance. Also it's illegal to take care of a baby bird without an license.

Yes, it's OK to place a fallen baby bird back in the nest. It's a myth parent birds will kill babies that have human scent on them. The parents will care for it if the baby bird isn't ill. Baby birds often end up out of the nest because parent birds "kick" them out due to illness. Seems cruel, but it's how Mother Nature works.
