Roast it on a spit. Maybe a little garlic to taste.

You idiot, you never move a wild animal! Just becuz it looked like it was hurt doesn't mean you should have taken it

how big is it? if it's almost an adult then feed it seeds, if it's a baby then feed it liquid baby bird food w/ an eyedropper or spoon...here's some bird recipes...

I would call a local animal shelter and a vet. See what they think. The mom will most likely not take it back not that it has been touched

you should take the bird to the nearest vet...it's in the best interest for the poor bird :/
