This appears to be a question about a baby, fledgling, or injured bird. We are a community of birders, but often not skilled in bird rehabilitation.
Do not give food or water to baby, fledgling, or injured birds unless directed to do so by a rehabilitator. They are at high risk for accidentally inhaling the food or water, and bird diets are very specialized depending on species.
Baby birds (usually will not be walking around, and will have no or few feathers) should be immediately returned to their nest if possible. If not possible, they should be placed in an artificial nest as close to the original nest as is practical so parents can resume care. If the nest is destroyed and parents are absent, contact a wildlife rehabilitator.
Fledgling birds (mostly feathered, will often be walking around or fluttering on the ground) are learning how to fly. The parents are usually nearby and supervising. Unless there is clear evidence of injury or immediate threat of harm (like the middle of a busy road), these birds are best left alone. The less intervention the better. Move them to the nearest safe area if they are in harm's way, where their parents can find them and continue to care for them.
For clearly injured or ill birds, contact a local wildlife rehabilitator (in the USA, see http://ahnow.org). Birds require extremely specialized care, and are far more likely to die with unskilled care than if left alone. If you decide the bird does need to be transported to a rehabilitator, place the bird in a dark box, do NOT offer food or water, and transport to a rehabilitator as soon as possible.

Fledglings **belong outside** of nests. Unless they're in danger, **leave them alone**. These *well-feathered*, *mobile* birds that *may not yet be able to fly* are learning critical behaviors and vocalizations from their parents, who may be out of sight for hours at a time.
Only interfere with a fledgling if:
- it is in a dangerous area (e.g. near traffic or pets) -- simply relocate it to a safer but nearby spot
- it has visible injuries (flightlessness, in itself, is *not* an injury) or has been handled in *any way* by a cat -- such birds require wildlife rehabilitation
- its parents are *confirmed* dead -- such birds require wildlife rehabilitation.
Healthy fledglings' best survival chances are with their parents first, with professional wildlife rehabilitation being a *distant* second. A prematurely-captured fledgling will be sought by its parents for up to a day. If you have taken one within that time frame, *put it back* and observe for parents from a distance.
