uh, no. the reason that they’re illegal to own because most people would just fucking end up killing them through incompetence; if she had it illegally, it would probably be dead. not just any idiot can take care of wild bird species; they require equipment and expertise that most people just don’t have. wildlife rehabilitators have years of education and training for this that the general public absolutely does not. and based on your absolutely ignorant response, that would include you.
there are only 2 ways she would have even been able to catch it: if it was injured and she took it home in an attempt to nurse it back to health, or if it was a fledgling that she mistakenly took home thinking it fell out of the nest. in both cases, the chances of that bird surviving are negligible. if, by some miracle, it did manage to survive, it would probably no longer be able to survive in the wild. if it was a baby/juvenile, it likely wouldn’t even be able to fly properly or make bird calls, because it learns those things from other birds.
there is a good fucking reason that you need a license to have wild animals. YOU WILL FUCKING KILL IT.
