Update: The consensus seems from Lemmy and my friends seems to be European Starling. Thank you so much everyone. I was concerned on what kind of diet this fella should be fed, looks like I have somewhere to start now.

Having issues contacting the wildlife shelter at the moment

    That could be Mama. Nests are not the safest place for fledglings, so mom or dad will push them out of the nest, but they are not abandoned. (Predators can find a nest easier than an able-bodied fledgling).

    I once rescued a baby chickadee from a neighborhood cat that was stalking it. The parents were going nuts in the tree above, so i set the little bugger in a yew bush and took the cat away and gave it treats. Everyone was happy that day

      Yes, I did the same with an american robin chick when an entire nest fell off. Mom and dad were still there. I put the nest back up with the chick and the parents continued to look after them.

      As for this fella here my boss was the one that took them in. I wanted to tell him to leave it back where it was, that mom and dad will probably look after them. But I didn’t push it.
