Hello, my name is Fran and I found a baby yellow breasted chat (I think) that had fallen out of the nest a week and a half ago. (1 Viewer)

[I need help]

We fed him, kept him warm, and now he can fly but won’t eat on his own. We tried to set him free, he flew away but when we went back outside he flew back to us. It breaks my heart to let him fly away in a strange place because we haven’t seen him eat on his own, and he seems attached. I don’t know what to do. I’m in Jamul Ca and haven’t been able to find a place to take him.

Hi Fran and a warm welcome to you from the east coast.

Surely there must be a humane society or an animal care center somewhere in your vicinity. If not, is there a vet that could possibly help you with some suggestions on where to take it.
I'd appreciate it if you could keep me updated with this matter.

KC
