Find a Baby Bird Out of the Nest? Here’s What to Do

This clever chart has the low-down on what to do when you find a chick that flew the coop too early.  

Chicks abound this time of year. While most stay snug in their nests until it's time for takeoff, a few baby birds are bound to take a tumble before the season ends.

It can be distressing and baffling to come across a baby songbird on a lawn or sidewalk, but it doesn't have to be, thanks to this handy, humorous chart by artist Rosemary Mosco. And if you're still stumped after giving it a read, contact a local wildlife rehabilitation expert or your local Audubon chapter.
