    Hi there, we had one in our garden last year,
    what ever you do don't touch it as it's parents will just abandon it.
    The only advice that we were told by the RSPCA was to make sure dangerous objcets were away from it and just watch out for cats as they would just eat it.

    This is the time where it's learning to fly when it comes out of its nest. May look as if the parents have abandoned it but there is always a parent bird in sight of the baby in case predators are about.
    May take up to a week for it to be able to fly and if it survives as 90% of them do get eaten by a cat.
    This is obviously a big learning curve for the baby into adult hood. Just watch out and chase those pesky cats away.

    What should I do with a baby bird that has been abandoned by its parents?

    Probably nothing. A young bird alone on the ground has not necessarily been abandoned. The young of many birds will fledge after they grow feathers, but before they are able to fly.

    They spend a day or two on the ground before their feather development is complete. It is really best not to interfere. The parents will be close by and come to feed the bird as soon as it is safe.

    If the bird is in a vulnerable position it will do no harm to move it into shelter but not too far away as the parents will then be unable to find it. Touching a bird will not make the parents abandon it.

    Watch carefully - if the parents don’t return and the youngster has definitely been abandoned then please email Wildlife Enquiries using the address on this page for further advice.

    I don't agree with that at all. Plus only passing on the advice we were giving from the RSPCA and I agree with them.

    This is the time where it's learning to fly when it comes out of its nest. May look as if the parents have abandoned it but there is always a parent bird in sight of the baby in case predators are about.
