My grandchildren discovered a baby birdie lying at the base of our ash tree today. We can't see a nest, so don't know what to do with it. He is alive (pooped on my leg), but not lively.

It is 4" long and has yellow and gray markings similar to a lesser goldfinch, but the beak is gray and thinner like a robin's. He has feathers, but still a little bit of baby fluff too.

Should I try to feed it? I offered a spoonful of water, but it refused.

Does it want a worm or birdseed or what?
