Fluffy or hopping birds are just waiting for their parents
-
Don't take home unless you've read to do so here...

Text a picture, stay put, keep bird out of danger and quiet and be patient - we will help you. In the meantime, go to the pertinent page for your situation and maintain the bird in the proper way as to do no harm and give it a second chance for survival.

Cute baby bird in your yard
​
One baby bird in every nest is the last to hatch and the last to fly. When it's time to flap and leap to a nearby limb (as shown), they go d o w n. Parents freak but they can't get it back up from the ground. This is when you or your pet find them. Keep in mind, parents still feed them - so they don't need to come inside unless it's getting dark.. they may need to be re-nested or kept safely so parents can feed and protect them for a couple more days.
