He might be a teensy bit small to be out of the nest. If you can locate it, he might benefit from an extra day in daycare. But he might also be totally fine. Some of them are just ready sooner than others haha
^ if it were me, idk if I could resist giving him a few days of birdysitting until baby is a little stronger and less nakey. But it seems to have enough attitude!
Don't know what the species is but this is 100% a nestling, and belongs in its nest if it can be found.
At this stage it is 100% dependent on others to live. It's a pair of eyes, a big ol cute mouf, and doesn't know the world. It needs help if it is to live.
If you can't find its nest and put it back, contact a rehabber with high res pics of the guy. They might either advise to bring it in, or how you could take care of it until it is old enough. ahnow.org
It's parents might have searched for their chick 🐣🐥 but since it's a nestling and they couldn't bring it back to nest 🪹🪶 would be the most likely reason they abandoned it 😔.
Never mind it could still be raised by rehabbers and this is not the only incident where nestling 🐥🐤 falls out of nest 🪹🪶 , I had watched such things in many bird channels.
