Baby bird

So as I was walking home from a neighbors house the other day I noticed something furry moving in the driveway. At first I thought it was a mouse. But then got a little closer and noticed it was a baby bird. The thing was so cute it was just hoping around it was so small it had to have just been born and learning how to walk. I quickly grabbed Dave and Kade to come take a look at it. We tried to figure how in the world the poor thing ended up in the driveway and where its mom was. We called the animal shelter and humane society to see what we should do with it, unfortunately they had closed for the day. We decided to make it a little nest and hope its mom would come back for it. As it started to get dark and the mother had not shown up we decided to keep it in a safer place in case a cat were to stumble upon it. We put it in a box on top of our garbage can for the night. The next morning we set it under our big tree in the back yard in hopes of him finding his mother. Unfortunately the mother never came back. But the good news is my husband called the humane society which does not deal with wildlife but gave him a number of a guy that rescued birds. He took the bird to the man. He said it was a baby quail and that he would be just fine.
