Usually the mother, (and the father), will take care of the baby on the ground. Some babies can go for cover by themselves, some need help to hide.
The best thing to do is leave it alone. Dont take a risk to harm the bird to kill the ants. The mom or the baby bird will figure out what to do. Ants might even be food for the baby bird.

A bird that is left alone in a nest should not be bothered. The parent bird leaves the nest to find food for the young, and then returns to feed it. If there is concern about the baby bird being abandoned, it is best to contact a professional to rescue the animal.
It is best if you don't feed it yourself. It can get stressed out and/or die. its best to call or bring to a bird sanctuary. Plus its illegal to take care of a baby bird without a licence. Do not touch the baby bird except in emergency or if its injured. Often the mother bird will come back and feed it. But if it has human scent, she will abandon it and it will die.
baby birds get adult mites from their parents in the nest
Usually, the momma will forget about it.
You should not put baby birds back in nests.
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.
The mommy bird flies over the nest and runs into a tree and goes splat. Then the baby bird sees the mommy bird fly and the baby bird tries but the baby bird cant fly so he falls out of the nest and lands on the mommy bird which was on a very sharp rock. The stupid daddy bird eats the baby bird and explodes and the world ends...THE END..im smaurt :P
in a nest
The Mother bird flies across the nest.Then the baby bird TRIES to fly but jumps out of the nest and falls on the floor.and dies...then the dad bird eats the baby bird remains and blows up. THE END i am smart!
No. It will be pushed out of the nest.
If the bird is still laying there and the mother/father is still feeding the baby bird, the bird must have just fell out of the nest and there isn't anything wrong with it. One of the parents will get it to its nest or get it to a safe place and take care of it. If the parent(s) do not want anything to do with it then the bird is sick and not eating, they just give up. You should place the bird in a warm shoe box with hay and make sugar water and feed that to the bird by using a dropper. You don't want to feed it to much. There are site that tell you directions with feeding a baby bird. :)
By hearing the baby bird cheep.
It is called Mother Bird.
