I had this experience some years ago, the little guy was so chubby no wonder he fell out of the nest, I nick named him "Tubby", anyway I got him to perch on an stick and then put him in the nearest tree, up as high as I could and his Mom found him and kept on feeding him. It was a joy to watch him develop and eventually take off, hope you are able to save yours.:waving:

Went and checked on her. She's able to fly a short distance so I'll let her be.

Biggest danger if she is on the ground and exposed to predators, if she is in a bush or a shrub should be no problem, Mom will find her. Cute baby:waving:
