I just found a baby (?) bird outside that cannot fly off. It crawled up in my garage wall to get away from me. Is there anything I can do to help it along. If it comes out tomorrow, I'll try to catch it and take it to my vet that repairs broken wings and such on wild birds for free.
I'm not sure it will let me catch it. Right now it has crawled up in a crevice where I cannot reach it.
I'm thinking that this might be a baby Quail since this area was named after them. supposedly all the development chased them off but it looks similar to the pictures I've seen of them. It's grey and spotted all over. I'm thinking it's a baby because it looks like it still has more down feathers than real feathers but I'm no expert. I didn't see any damage on it when I first saw it. I put some water and seed in a little dish out for it but I'm guessing it only eats bugs.
Any help will be appreciated.

If you can catch it, I think taking it to your vet would be a very nice thing to do.
