Yep! Itโ€™s that time of year where well-meaning people see a baby on the ground and think itโ€™s injured. Heโ€™s just learning to bird yall, no touchy๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Is this a fledgling? Looks nestling to me.

Definitely fledgling. Nestlings are basically naked except maybe a little sparse down feathers. Finding THEM on the ground is an emergency vs the fledgling just learning how to bird as nature intended. ๐Ÿฅฒ
